Salomon Reinach would explain Hippolytus at Troezen as a sacred horse, which was torn to pieces by his worshippers at a solemn sacrifice, just as Dionysus Zagreus was said to have been rent in pieces by his worshippers. See S. Reinach, “Hippolyte,” Archiv für Religionswissenschaft, x. (1907) pp. 47–60; id. Cultes, Mythes, et Religions, iii. (Paris, 1908) pp. 54–67.
