MEISNER, D.A., Orphic Traditions and the Birth of the Gods. Oxford University Press, 2018. 336p. Hardback with dust wrps. Meisner provides an important new study of these complex and fascinating texts. By approaching the Orphic theogonies as diverse products of bricolage, he helps to make sense of the bizarre elements, the complicated intertwinings of plots, and the contradictions in the fragmentary evidence. He is particularly sensitive to the need to understand the evidence from the Neoplatonists in its philosophical context, and he guides the reader surely and steadily through the often baffling intricacies of Neoplatonic theology.
