Abstract
The paper focuses on the Derveni papyrus and the small corpus of the Bacchic-Orphic gold incised epistomia, both ‘written’ objects associated with burial practices. It examines issues of chronology and topography these written objects raise, as well as the texts themselves and their contexts with emphasis on the areas where the two sets of written objects meet and where they part their ways.
Keywords:: Derveni papyrus; Bacchic-Orphic gold tablets/lamellae/epistomia; Homeric poetry; Homeric Hymns; Hesiod; Orphic poetry; Presocratics; Plato; burial practice
