As is indicated by its subtitle, this book deals with theogony, that is, the origin of the gods, in Orphism. The task is complicated: there are several versions of this theogony, which were composed at various dates, and contain three kinds of elements: mythical, allegorical, and ritual.
'Orphic Traditions and the Birth of the Gods' is a literary history that attempts to reconstruct the fragments of four theogonies that were attributed to the legendary singer Orpheus: the Derveni, Eudemian, Hieronyman, and Rhapsodic Theogonies. Most modern scholars have described these poems as if they were similar to Hesiod's Theogony-lengthy chronological accounts of the births of the gods from the beginning of time to the present, but this text suggests that a better model for understanding how these poems were composed is to see each of them as an individual product of bricolage (as explained by Claude Le vi-Strauss), rather than as items in the stemma of a static manuscript tradition (as reconstructed by Martin West).
