The Rhapsodies, which—as the foregoing summary shows—began with
theogony and ended with anthropogony, are supposed by O. Gruppe {Gr. Myth.

to have been put together at Athens between 550 and 300 B.C., though they
did not obtain much recognition till the time of the neo-Pythagoreans. A pro-
venance in Pisistratic Athens is suggested, he thinks, by the dedication of this
Orphic poem to Mousaios (theosoph. Tubing. 61 in K. Buresch Klaros Leipzig
1889 p. 117, 3), by the identification of Phanes with Metis which allowed Athena
{infra § 9 (h) ii (p.)) to be viewed as one aspect of the reborn Erikepaios, by
the affiliation of Artemis or Hekate (supra p. 1029) to Demeter (Orph. frag. 188
Kern ap. Prokl. in Plat. Cratyl. p. 106, 25 ff. Pasquali, Orph. frag. 41 Kern ap.

with Demeter (supra i. 398, ii. 1029) which appears also in Euripides (Eur.
