Summary/Abstract: In his book entitled Avatarurile lui Orfeu (Orpheus’s Avatars), Dumitru Chioaru presents the two hypostases of the Orphism, the orphic and anti or post(orphic). Beginning his line of argument from the myth of Orpheus and crystallising his critical options with a hermeneutic perspective on the problem in question, Dumitru Chioaru manages to achieve a larger picture of the lyricism related to the orphic myth, by analysing the poetic works of thirty poets.The Orphism’s hypostases are depicted by means of two exegetic methods, both used in an irreproachable manner (mythological criticism and hermeneutics). Dumitru Chioaru’s endeavour in the history of the universal lyricism and in everything which lyricism represents, in its multiple hypostases, proves the presence of a fine hermeneutist, attentive to everything which the paradigm of Orphism implies, a paradigm he manages to define by capturing it in some ample sentences, both clarifying and expressive.
