Description
Orpheus and Eurydice are famous for their doomed love story, but it turns out Orpheus is also famous for, well, inventing an entire religion separate from the traditional ancient Greek mythology and practices?!CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Sources: Ovid's Metamorphoses, translated by Allen Mandelbaum, long quotes/songs translated by Brookes More from Theoi.com; Early Greek Myths by Timothy Gantz; Virgil's Georgics.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
