The category life-death-rebirth deity also known as a "dying-and-rising" or "Resurrection"
god is a convenient means of classifying the many divinities in world
mythology or
religion who are born, suffer death or an eclipse or other death-like experience, pass a phase in the
underworld among the dead, and are subsequently reborn, in either a literal or symbolic sense. Such figures might include
Osiris,
Adonis,
Tammuz,
phoenix,
Jesus,
Baldur, and
Odin.
Female deities who passed into the kingdom of death and returned include
Inanna and
Persephone, the central figure of the
Eleusinian Mysteries.
