 | | W.K. Guthrie, Orpheus and Greek Religion: a Study of the Orphic Movement, 1952. | | | Closely connected with religious life, Orpheus was an augur and seer; practiced magical arts, especially astrology; founded or rendered accessible many important cults, such as those of Apollo and the Thracian god Dionysus; instituted mystic rites both public and private; and prescribed initiatory and purificatory rituals. | | | Owen Barfield had written the verse drama Orpheus in the 1930s, partly at the suggestion of C.S. Lewis. |

| | Still others assert that Orpheus came to his end by being struck by a thunderbolt, hurled at him by god because he revealed sayings in the mysteries to men who had not heard them before. | | | It is also told that the Thracian women plotted Orpheus' death, because he had persuaded their husbands to follow him in his wanderings, and that first after having drinking much wine, they dared to kill him. | | | Concerning the MAENADS or women who killed him, some say that when Aphrodite and Persephone were both in love with Adonis, Orpheus' mother Calliope was then appointed judge by Zeus, and she decided that each should possess him half the year. |

| | Orpheus |
| | Orpheus was the first in the West to advocate a full-time devotion to the divine -- not merely the social religion of cultural adherence, but a lifetime occupation. | | | As a spiritual teacher, Orpheus described the Bright numinous divinity that can be found in both the death process and in the mystic passage through the dark unconsciousness, revealing Elysium, "the abode of divinity." As a rationalist, Orpheus elucidated the evolutionary structure of the kosmos. | | | Orpheus was "the realizer of Dionysus" and "Priest of Apollo," triumphantly acknowledged as the one who tamed, measured, and revealed the meaning of the intoxicating rites. |

| | He identified with the egotistical, death-loving Orpheus, and the hostility that characters in the movie have towards Orpheus reflect the homosexual, dilettante, politically uncommitted Cocteau's own resentment of the attacks levelled against him by the Surrealists and communists in the 1920s, and after the war by younger critics. | | | "Orpheus" is still one of the most magical fantasy films, despite the technical advances made in special effects. | | | The journeys through mirrors (achieved by using doubles, vats of mercury, troughs of water, and unsilvered glass) have a dreamlike quality and the zone beyond them has the haunted nightmare feeling of a 1940s neoromantic painting. |
