Redefining Ancient Orphism: A Study in Greek Religion
Edmonds III, Radcliffe G. (Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania)
This book examines the fragmentary evidence for Orpheus as the author of rites and poems, redefining Orphism as a label applied polemically to extra-ordinary religious phenomena. Replacing older models of an Orphic religion, this richer and more complex model provides insight into the boundaries of normal and abnormal Greek religion.
