Abstract

The message of legendary Orpheus, just by ancient authors was identified with dark and difficult symbolism. Orphic language although being unclear, was the best way for communication between gods and man. This article is the next prove, on the base on ancient texts, modern critic literature, and author’s reflections, to describe Orphism and ancient Greek phenomenon, which joined together religious message, philosophy, anthropology and early theology. There is a lot of articles dedicated to this problem, but it’s still unknown or misunderstool although being a really keystone in the forming of modern mentality and spirituality. Orphism as ancient via regia to Gods and eternal life for everyone, has to be endlessly studied, not only with ancient, original texts, but also regarding on modern reflexion of anthropology.
