Synopsis

Excerpt from The British Essayists, Vol. 44: With Prefaces, Historical and Biographical

O? The name of Orpheus grammarians reckon no fewer than five epic poets their histories are ia volved in fable, and their distinctions uncertain and obscure. The Thracian Orpheus, who is the elder of the name, is said to have been the disciple of Linus, and to have lived before the Trojan war eleven ages: he was a prophet as well as a poet, and instituted many ceremonies in the Pagan theoo logy; he delivered precepts in verse relative to the modes of initiation: the mysterious rites of Ceres and Bacchus are supposed to have originated with him, but as it is pretty clear that these Egyptian, they might be introduced, but not ih vented, by Orpheus.
