Abstract

In this article I shall provide a brief survey of the study of
Orphism and give some indications of its present status. After a short
introduction to the prior debate on the subject I will emphasize the
role of the new material relevant to Orphism which has been
unearthed and made available to scholars since the middle of the
1970s.
