At the heart of all the various #pagan mysteries was a #myth of a godman who died and rose from the dead. This #divine figure was called by various names in the sundry pagan mysteries: #Osiris, #Dionysus, Attis, #Adonis, Baccus, #Mithras. But “fundamentally all these #godmen are the same #mythical being”
