Know about the book -

Orphic Tradition and the Birth of the Gods is written by Dwayne A. Meisner and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190663545 (ISBN 10) and 9780190663544 (ISBN 13).

Meisner offers a new interpretation of four Orphic theogonies: Derveni, Eudemian, Hieronyman, and Rhapsodic. The fragments of these poems, thought to be written by Orpheus, contained narratives of the creation of the cosmos and the births of the gods, but differed from the mainstream account of Hesiod's Theogony.
