"I wish to demonstrate that the tradition of mysticism, reform, and subjective morality associated with the name of 'Orpheus' is no less characteristic of Greek thought than is the cult of the Olympian gods. Second, I wish to draw what seems to me the obvious analogy between ancient 'Orphism' and modern Protestantism."--Pref.
