Orpheus (Greek: Ὀρφεύς, Orpheús; Latin: Orpheus; Hebrew: אורפיאוס, Orfaius) is a legendary musician, poet, and prophet in ancient Greek mythology and religion. He is best known for his role as a pioneer of music and his attempt to retrieve his wife, Eurydice, from the underworld. Orpheus' lyre playing and singing were so beautiful that they could charm all living things and even stones. His abilities were said to have been granted by the god Apollo, who was also his father in some versions of the myth. The name "Orpheus" is derived from the ancient Greek word ὄρφνη (órphnē), meaning "darkness," reflecting his connection to the underworld. In Roman mythology, Orpheus is often associated with the god Bacchus (Dionysus in Greek), and his cult was known for its ecstatic rituals and mysticism. The story of Orpheus and Eurydice has been a popular subject in art, literature, and music throughout history, symbolizing the power of love and the struggle between life and death.
This site lets you convert words, names, and phrases into numerical values using different gematria systems. You can use the main calculator gematria tool at the top of the page: type your text, choose a method, and press Convert.
The calculator gematria tool supports multiple alphabets and standard letter–number mappings. More systems will be added in the future.
The reverse gematria calculator uses the same alphabet as the standard system but assigns values in reverse order (for example, A = 26, B = 25, …, Z = 1 in a basic English reverse setup). This lets you compare standard and reverse values for the same text.
