Have you ever wondered what is meant by the phrase "mystery religions"? Ever wonder, just what the hell this "mystery" is? Are you frustrated by the deafening silence of the ancient writers on this subject? Titillated by the hints left by Plato and the pre-Socratics? Yeah, you're not alone. While the mysteries of Eleusis and the cults of Mithras and Isis may remain in the shadows, the mysteries of Orpheus have been cracked wide open! Like the Rosetta Stone of the Orphic-Dionysian mysteries, an ancient papyrus has been found, which spills the proverbial beans. Join me in exploring the Derveni Papyrus.
Enjoy ;)
