Description

Explore the ancient Greek myths of the Cosmic Egg, the swallowing of Phanes by Zeus, and the murder of Dionysus by the Titans. Orphic Tradition and the Birth of the Gods by Oxford University Press brings together the lost fragments of Orphic poetry. Since most of these epic poems survived only as brief quotations by Greek philosophers, this work is essential for understanding these ancient stories. This volume collects the scattered fragments of four specific Orphic theogonies: the Derveni, Eudemian, Hieronyman, and Rhapsodic theogonies. By gathering these pieces, the book provides a look at the poetic accounts of creation that were once attributed to the legendary singer Orpheus. It is a significant resource for those studying Greek mythology and the origins of the gods.
