Orpheus: Myths Of The World is a collection of myths and legends from around the world, retold by Padraic Colum. The book primarily focuses on the myth of Orpheus, a legendary musician and poet from ancient Greece who had the ability to charm all living things with his music. The book explores the various versions of the Orpheus myth from different cultures, including Greek, Roman, and Egyptian, as well as lesser-known myths from Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The book also includes stories of other legendary musicians and poets, such as the Chinese poet Li Bai and the Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan. Through these myths and legends, the book explores the power of music and the human quest for beauty, love, and immortality. The book is beautifully illustrated by Willy Pogany and is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, folklore, and the power of storytelling.This is a new release of the original 1930 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
