Orpheus and the Fisher of Men on the Christian Sarcophagus from Ostia

""Orpheus And The Fisher Of Men On The Christian Sarcophagus From Ostia"" is a book written by Robert Eisler. The book explores the symbolism and meaning behind the Christian sarcophagus found in Ostia, Italy. The sarcophagus features two scenes: one depicting Orpheus playing his lyre surrounded by animals, and the other showing a fisherman pulling in his net with fish. Eisler argues that these scenes represent the dual nature of Christ as both a divine and human figure. He also explores the significance of the fish as a symbol of Christ and the role of music in early Christian worship. The book provides a detailed analysis of the sarcophagus and its historical context, making it an important resource for scholars of early Christianity and art history.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Orpheus The Fisher, by Robert Eisler.
