Orphism was a mystical religious tradition in ancient Greece, centered on the mythic tales of the hero Orpheus and his teachings about the soul, reincarnation, and the afterlife. Adherents believed in a cycle of birth and rebirth for the soul, emphasizing purification and ascetic practices to achieve spiritual liberation and union with the divine. The Orphic hymns, texts, and rituals emphasized the soul's journey, its divine origins, and the challenges it faced in the material world
