[57.4] In the Attis Mysteries the reborn and initiated were fed on milk—Sallustius, De Diis et Mundo, 4: for a careful treatment of the whole question, vide Dieterich, Eine Mithras-Liturgie, pp. 157-178: for various savage parallels showing the prevalence in primitive societies of the idea of death and rebirth at initiation, vide Frazer, Golden Bough, vol. iii. pp. 424-446.

[60.1] Vide Frazer’s Golden Bough, passim, especially vol. ii. pp. 115-168 (death and resurrection in rites of Adonis, Attis, Osiris, Dionysos), and vol. iii. pp. 138-200: cf. articles by Bernard Cook in Classical Review, 1903, 1904, on “Zeus Jupiter and the Oak”: we must distinguish between the simulated death of the divine effigy, and the simulated or real death of the human representative of divinity. In Hellenic religion we can trace the idea in the worship of Pan, in the legends and ritual of Artemis-Iphigenia and Aphrodite, vide Cults of the Greek States, vol. ii. pp. 440-442, 650-652, and in the Cretan worship of Zeus, vol. i. pp. 36-38: but it had lost its vitality in the purely Hellenic cults of the classical period, and was only real and energetic in the legends and ritual of Adonis and Dionysos.
[61.1] Vide Dio Chrys., vol. ii. p. 16 (Dindorf), and K. O. Müller’s Sardon und Sardanapal (Kleine Schriften, vol. ii. p. 100): on a coin published in British Museum Catalogue, “Lycaonia,” etc., pl. xxxiii. 2, p. 180, we see the god on his lion standing on what may be his pyre.
