Description: This is the first modern book entirely dedicated to the Orphic Hymns, an intriguing corpus of texts providing material not only to scholars interested in the literary genre of the hymn, but also to historians of religion. The Orphic Hymns are unique in that they link Orphic beliefs, offerings, and mysteries with an actual cult-group.
Review Quotes: '...ein eindrückliches und nützliches Arbeitsintsrument...'
