Description:
"In the Footsteps of Orpheus" by R.F. Paget. Published in the United Kingdom in 1967 by the Scientific Book Club. RARE BOOK! With B&W photographs.
"Is the story of Orpheus in the Underworld merely a legend, a figment of the Ancients' picturesque imagination, or is it, like the story of the Trojan War, based on historical fact? Dr. Paget, with his colleague Keith JOnes, set out to do the same for Vergil, and to discover the entrance to the Underworld and the Oracle of the Dead by the crater of Avernus, directing his steps according to clues in the Aeneid...This remarkable book brings the past to life with a description of the ancient rituals, reconstructed on the very site that Vergil knew."
Book is in Very Good condition. Corners are bumped a bit. Staining on the top page edges. Interior is in Great condition. Dustjacket is in Near Fine condition. A little creasing at the corners. Slight other wear/creasing on the edges of the DJ.
