Orpheus and Greek Religion (Mythos Books): A Study of the Orphic Movement (Mythos: The Princeton/Bollingen Series in World Mythology) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The tales told of Orpheus are legion. He is said to have been an Argonaut--and to have saved Jason's life. Rivers are reported to have stopped their flow to listen to the sounds of his lyre and his voice. Plato cites his poetry and Herodotus refers to "practices that are called Orphic." Did Orpheus, in fact, exist? His influence on Greek thought is undeniable, but his disciples left little of substance behind them. Indeed, their Orphic precepts have been lost to time.
W.K.C. Guthrie attempts to uncover and define Orphism by following its circuitous path through ancient history. He tackles this daunting task with the determination of a detective and the analytical rigor of a classical scholar. He ferries his readers with him on a singular voyage of discovery.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Guthrie's exact and cautious use of the full range of evidence ensures that his book is still the basic survey of this complex and quintessentially Greek figure. Alderink's excellent introduction, which places Guthrie's book within the context of the most recent and exciting scholarship on Orphism, is also rewarding for its vigorous and informed overview of a century's work on Greek religion." ~Richard P. Martin, Princeton University. " . absolutely indispensable . written for both scholars and general readers. It is admirably lucid and well organized, and is fully accessible~indeed, fascinating~for anyone interested in the ancient world." ~David Ulansey, Boston University. Among W.K.C. Guthrie's other works in print are The Greeks and Their Gods (Methuen) and The History of Classical Philosophy (Cambridge). Larry J. Alderink is Professor of Religion at Concordia College.
