Orphic texts

Orphic texts are ancient Greek writings associated with the mystical and religious traditions attributed to Orpheus, a legendary poet and musician. These texts explore themes of creation, the soul's divine origin, and the path to spiritual purification and enlightenment. Often written in poetic form, they emphasize salvation through knowledge and ritual, guiding initiates toward understanding their divine nature and the cosmos. Though their origins are complex and partly mythic, Orphic texts significantly influenced Greek religion and later esoteric traditions, blending myth, philosophy, and ritual to inspire spiritual transformation.
