Adonis
For other uses of the name Adonis, see
Adonis (disambiguation). In
Greek mythology Adonis (, also: Άδωνις) is an archetypal
life-death-rebirth deity of Semitic origin, and a central cult figure in various
mystery religions. He is closely related to the Egyptian
Osiris, the Semitic
Tammuz and
Baal Hadad, the Etruscan Atunis and the Phrygian
Attis, all of whom are deities of rebirth and
vegetation. Some mythologists believe that
Balder is to be read as his counterpart in
Germanic mythology. Adonis is one of the most complex cult figures in classical times. He has had multiple roles and there has been much scholarship over the centuries concerning his meaning and purpose in the
Greek religious beliefs. He is an annually-renewed, ever-youthful vegetation god, a
life-death-rebirth deity whose nature is tied to the calendar. His
cult belonged to women: the cult of dying Adonis was fully-developed in the circle of young girls around
Sappho on
Lesbos, about 600 BCE, as a fragment of Sappho reveals. His name is often apllied in modern times to handsome youths.
