 | | Persephone and Demeter centers around a dying and reviving god. | | | And the sacred king, the human embodiment of the dying and reviving god, was supposed to have been an individual, made king, chosen to rule for a time, but whose fate was to suffer as a sacrifice, offered back to the earth so that a new king could rule for a time in his stead. | | | All manner of traditions were interpreted as representing fragments of the unitary myth of a dying and reviving god, and the human king/victim who was his earthly representative or substitute. |

| | Like other gods of vegetation Dionysus was believed to have died a violent death, but to have been brought to life again; and his sufferings, death, and resurrection were enacted in his sacred rites. | | | For his father set him on the kingly throne, and placed in his hand the sceptre, and made him king of all the gods of the world.” Such traditions point to a custom of temporarily investing the king’s son with the royal dignity as a preliminary to sacrificing him instead of his father. | | | And as the deity is supposed to partake of the victim offered to him, it follows that, when the victim is the god’s old self, the god eats of his own flesh. |

| | In mythology, a life-death-rebirth deity also known as a "dying-and-rising" god is one who dies and is reborn, in either a literal or symbolic sense. | | | Frazer suggested that as early as the third mllenium BCE, ancient middle eastern cultures had a sort of “dying and rising god”; template, used especially for “vegetation gods”; that died and rejuvenated in accordance with the food growing seasons. | | | Some of the most famous include Jesus Christ, Mithras, and Persephone (the object of the famed Eleusinian mysteries). |

| | Moreover, the explanation is countenanced by a considerable body of opinion amongst the ancients themselves, who again and again interpreted the dying and reviving god as the reaped and sprouting grain. | | | In the middle of this month is the festival of el-Bûgât, that is, of the weeping women, and this is the Tâ-uz festival, which is celebrated in honour of the god Tâ-uz. | | | The character of Tammuz or Adonis as a corn-spirit comes out plainly in an account of his festival given by an Arabic writer of the tenth century. |
