Abstract:
he chapter centres on the figure of Orpheus and the Vedic bhus.
After recapitulating the phraseological data which support the etymo-
logical connection between these two names and Hittite ḫarpp-mi ‘to
ally with, to join’, I examine a prerogative that Orpheus and the bhus
seem to have in common: the capacity of constructing special objects
that have a “ritual” relevance and/or fashion immortality.
