Since ancient times, relativists have been viewed as villains of truth and knowledge. They have undermined optimistic explanations of how we know things and, instead, have grounded knowledge in the ever-changing world of human opinion. But is the relativists' notorious reputation justified?

Its nature and role are still, however, among the most debated problems of Classical scholarship. A cornerstone of the question is its relationship to Christianity, which modern authors have too often discussed from apologetic perspectives or projections of the Christian model into its supposed precedent. Besides, modern approaches are strongly based on ancient ones, since Orpheus and the poems and mysteries attributed to him were fundamental in the religious controversies of Late Antiquity. Both Pagan and Christian authors often present Orphism as a precedent, alternative or imitation of Chistianity.This free and thorough study of the ancient sources sheds light on these controversial questions. The presence of the Orphic tradition in Imperial Age, documented by literary and epigraphical evidence, is confronted with the informations transmitted by Christian apologists on Orphic poems and cults. The manifold Christian treatments of Pagan sources, and their particular value to understand Greek religion, are illuminated by this specific case, which exemplifies the complex encounter between Classical culture and Jewish-Christian tradition. 410 0$aSozomena (Berlin, Germany) ;$v7. 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xDionysia 606 $aDionysia 610 $aDionysus. 610 $aOrpheus. 610 $aOrphism (Religion). 610 $aReception (Religion). 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xDionysia. 615 0$aDionysia. 676 $a261.2/2 686 $a930$2sdnb 686 $aBO 2200$2rvk 700 $aHerrero de Ja?uregui$b Miguel$01480292 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778524303321 996 $aOrphism and Christianity in late antiquity$93696858 997 $aUNINA
