The Thomas Taylor section takes up almost 3/4 of the length of the article. I don't think it adds much, and certainly selections would better illustrate whatever point someone was trying to make by including it. Mastakos (talk) 09:04, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. Taylor also thought that the Orphic Hymns (the work he's discussing in that quote) were composed for usage in the Eleusinian Mysteries; there's no reason at all to be taking his opinions seriously in the modern day. The section in question was also seemingly added by a now-blocked user. –Michael Aurel (talk) 09:58, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
In place of the quote, I've added a little bit about the attribution of Orphic works to Onomacritus, by ancient and modern (or relatively modern) authors, using a source I have to hand. –Michael Aurel (talk) 10:46, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
