The Orphic hymns

by and

  • 3 Want to read

An accurate and eminently readable translation of a collection of short religious hymns to the Hellenic gods, attributed to the mythic hero Orpheus, but most likely composed by several authors, collected in the 3rd century C.E. These hymns attest to a vigorous belief in the traditional Hellenic religion in general, and the Orphic Mysteries in particular, persisting at a time when Christianity was becoming more widespread. The prolific notes by Apostolos N. Athanassakis and Benjamin M. Wolkow provide a comprehensive resource for students of mythology, poetry, and ancient religion.
