KlappentextMany discoveries have confirmed the importance of Orphism for ancient Greek religion, philosophy and literature. However, its nature and role are still very controversial. This study of the ancient sources answers these questions, and illuminates the complexity of the encounter between Classical culture and Jewish-Christian tradition.
Zusatztext"Altogether, the reader is justified in feeling that he has come to a better knowledge of the books, beliefs, and rites of Orphism, of the Christian apologists and their encounter with Greek religion and ideas, and of the specific texts discussed here. He has found, moreover, a resource to which he can return for insight and direction on these and many related matters for years to come. For this contribution, once again, Herrero de Jáuregui is to be thanked."Benjamin Garstad in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2010.10.52 "In seinem Werk ist H. insgesamt eine überzeugende, kenntnisreiche, gut lesbare Darstellung eines der kompliziertesten (und in der Vergangenheit umstrittensten) Phänomene der Antike gelungen."Oliver Schelske in: Gnomon 85, 2013
