Abstract
Clement of Alexandria quotes in Stromateis 5.14.116.1 and 25.1 two hymnical passages attributed to Orpheus. One, more extensive, was part of a hymn to Zeus very similar in form and content to those of the late collection of Orphic Hymns. The other, a single verse, seems to be the beginning of a Hymn to Kronos, influenced by a myth of the Orphic theogonies. The purpose of the article is to translate and comment on both fragments, and to examine both their formal aspects, and the religious ideology they convey, as samples of a type of literary work characteristic of late Orphism. It also discusses the possibility that they belong to the same hymn.
