There is a preparationthat is said to be evangelical, because little by little and in many ways, the Christian Good News reachesthe whole Roman Empire. This is visible in the evolution of classical art, especially in the mosaic, with the bestexamples, among other significant myths, of Orpheus’s story. Hence the importance of new approaches to classicalmyths, namely in their representation in opus musivum. CR - M. F.
