| | Dionysos, of course, explicitly combined all these aspects: at once the ecstatic ithyphallic god of orgy, the divine infant Iakchos and the sacrificial god who was torn to pieces to be resurrected. | | | J.M. Robertson that a mystery play underlies the story of the Passion seems to receive support from the discovery of some cuneiform tablets relating to the Babylonian god Marduk, whose death and resurrection were dramatically represented long before the Christian era. |

| | The second row of procession was led by torch-bearer Iakchos in the function of priest at the mysteries, who leads the way and holds torches for performance of the rites. | | | The procession of initiates with Kore and Iakchos in front of Demeter on the Ninnion Tablet (from the lst half of the 4th century BCE) in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens is showing many interesting details from the Eleusinian celebration. | | | The procession was moving with dancing attendants, some of them almost in ecstasy. |
