Greek Anthology 7.8.3 (Antipater of Sidon), on the death of Orpheus, more fully at
sigma 1668; cf. Gow and Page, vol. I (14-15), vol. II (42), and further excerpts from this epigram at
alpha 1063 and
delta 1552. Orphic legends recount his control of rocks, trees, and animals, but -- albeit less characteristically than as granted here -- also over more elemental phenomena such as winds and precipitation (Gow and Page, vol. II (42)).
