Myths of the Underworld Journey: Plato, Aristophanes, and the 'Orphic' Gold Tablets
Edmonds, III, Radcliffe G. (Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania)
Plato, Aristophanes and the creators of the 'Orphic' gold tablets employ the traditional tale of a journey to the realm of the dead to redefine the boundaries of their societies. The narratives in this 2004 book reveal their meanings through close analysis of the specific ways in which each makes use of the tradition.
