Ovid's Satanic Verses: Orpheus and the Devil's Gospel (original) (raw)

Abstract

"If we follow the links between the Metamorphoses and the holy texts of the Old and New Testament, then Orpheus’ account — preoccupied with transgression and sexual perversion — becomes a rather shocking take on the Judeo-Christian tradition. Ovid’s satanic gospel, you could say, not unlike Rushdie’s satanic Qur’an. And the comparison with Rushdie is fitting, though perhaps unexpected to some readers, given that Ovid’s Orpheus actually features prominently in the The Satanic Verses." https://eidolon.pub/ovid-s-satanic-verses-5157172073a#.sgq2r2l3e
