Adonis Attis Osiris: Studies In The History Of Oriental Religion is a book by James G. Frazer that explores the history and mythology of three ancient deities from the Near East: Adonis, Attis, and Osiris. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on one of these deities, and includes detailed examinations of their origins, cults, and associated rituals. Frazer draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and ethnographic studies, to provide a comprehensive overview of these important figures in the history of religion. The book also explores the connections between these deities and other mythological traditions, such as those of Greece and Rome. Overall, Adonis Attis Osiris is a fascinating and informative study of the role that religion played in the ancient world, and the enduring influence of these three deities on human culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
