Evoker of myths, Quetzalcóatl’s name is synonymous with his wisdom and his quest for a beyond, where, unlike the earth, there would be no sin and faces would never age. In Tula, Quetzalcóatl had discovered the existence of sin on earth and the fact that faces must grow old. He had then fled to the East, to the land of the black and red colors, the region of knowledge.
In Orphic theogony, Nomos (Law) and Eusebeia (Piety) are said to have given birth to Justice.
Artemis became assimilated with many divinities over time. Her worship at Ephesos was a result of being identified with Kybele, a connection perhaps facilitated through their shared association with mountains and lions. The Thracian goddess Bendis, who is at times identified with Kybele, is also matched with Artemis. Very common is Artemis’ merging with Moon, and thence with Hekate, as at 'Orphic fragment 356', where Tyche is also added. Artemis’ concern with childbirth and association with Moon also naturally link her with Eileithyia.
Central to Orphism is the idea that the body is evil and the soul is divine. In fact, the body is a tomb which serves as a prison for the spiritual entity we call the soul. The material part of man, the body, is the evil inheritance of the Titans. The spiritual part, the soul, comes from Dionysos, an immortal god and the son of Zeus. It is obvious that the Homeric concept of the living body as the man himself and of the soul as a pale lifeless shadow of him is completely inverted in Orphism.
The supreme god of Orphism was Dionysos, and at the center of this religious faith was a cosmogony different from the one we learn from Hesiod’s Theogony . Orphism preached the simple idea that the world was born from an egg. This primordial egg hatched out the first god, Eros, who was later named Protogonos and Phanes and who was said to be both male and female. He then created the world. The Hesiodic succession of Sky, Kronos, and Zeus was retained. Appended to this was the story of the death of Dionysos at the hands of the Titans, who tore him to pieces and devoured him, and Dionysos’ eventual rebirth.
Hesiod’s gods are still with us, not as subjects to be worshipped and appeased through sacrifice, but as enduring motives that govern and disrupt our lives.
