Berlin ; Boston: De Gruyter, 2011. — X, 442 p. — (Beiträge zur Altertumskunde 296). — ISBN 978-3-11-025971-1.In this work, the short epos Orpheus’ Argonautica that dates from Late Antiquity is subjected to a comprehensive re-examination. It reveals a work in which the poetic structure is much more complex than previously assumed and shows how Orpheus’ figure was handled in Late Antiquity thus presenting the recipient with a number of links to philosophic-religious and above all neoplatonic variants.
