<p> The Orphic myth in the <i>Pseudo-Clementines</i> has attracted the attention of scholars attempting to decipher the evolution of the myth. Between the two versions of the <i>Pseudo-Clementines</i>, the <i> Klementia</i> (also known as the <i>Homilies</i>) and the <i> Recognition</i>, the majority of scholars have determined that the <i> Homilies</i> preserve the oldest version of the myth and reflect the <i> Basic Writer</i>'s presentation. The predominant problem with this assertion is that it neglects to address the lack of a detailed comparative analysis of both texts.</p><p> The textual method used in this study will involve a comparison of parallel sections of the <i>Homilies</i> and the <i>Recognition</i>. The aim is to identify the more redacted version as the secondary text and the common material as reflective of the outline of the <i>Basic Writer </i>. Moreover, those findings will be compared to other versions of the myth. This analysis will demonstrate that, in the Orphic material, the <i> Recognition</i> preserves the older version of the <i>Pseudo-Clementines </i> and also reflects the original presentation by the <i>Basic Writer</i>.</p>
