Undying Orpheus: Legends and Origins – Still accepting registrations
Presented by Andrew Ettin
Wednesdays, (4-6pm first class only), remaining classes 2 – 4pm
April 23 – May 28
The legends of Orpheus have excited the imagination of creative artists and philosophers from the Greeks and Romans to our time. Orpheus the musician enchanting woodland creatures with his voice and lyre, Orpheus the devoted lover descending to the Underworld to resurrect his beloved bride Eurydice, Orpheus the visionary inspiration for the mystical Orphic Hymns, Orpheus the victim of the Maenads of Dionysius: each of these has been the subject of great and compelling works of art. We will trace the origins and main threads of the Orpheus myth through the centuries in literary texts, stage works, and films.
