Widely acknowledged as the most authoritative Victorian study of ancient Greece, George Grote's twelve-volume work, begun in 1846, established the view of Greek history which still prevails in textbooks and popular accounts of the ancient world today. Grote employs direct and clear language to take the reader from the earliest times of legendary Greece to the death of Alexander and his generation, drawing upon epic poetry and legend, and examining the growth and decline of the Athenian democracy. The work explains Greek political constitutions and philosophy, and interwoven throughout are the important but outlying adventures of the Sicilian and Italian Greeks. Volume 1 focuses on the legendary Greece, the times of epic poetry and legend, and explains how what we read today as myth was once, as Grote describes it, 'accredited history which the first Greeks could conceive or relish of their past time'.

L'Orfismo si diffuse in Grecia nel VI secolo a.C. come religione misterico-dionisiaca parallela alla religione pubblica olimpica. Il punto centrale della sua proposta dottrinale - contro la visione omerico-esiodea degli uomini intesi come mortali - è la credenza nelI'immortalità e nella reincarnazione dell'anima (o demone, un frammento del dio Dioniso intrappolato nell'involucro del corpo), con tutte le pratiche di purificazione che verranno poi riprese e ripensate dalla filosofia pitagorica e platonica. L'edizione classica di Kern del 1922, qui proposta integralmente con la prima traduzione italiana, raccoglie sia le testimonianze sia i frammenti della tradizione scritta, ma anche materiale archeologico, tratto soprattutto dalle laminelle auree che gli orfici ponevano sulle fronti dei defunti prima della sepoltura, Il volume è introdotto da un asggio di Giovanni Reale, che mette in luce l'importanza dell'Orfismo per la nascita del concetto di psyche nella successiva filosofia presocratica.
