About the Book

Adonis Attis Osiris: Studies in the History of Oriental Religion is a book written by James George Frazer, a Scottish anthropologist and folklorist. The book is a collection of essays that explore the history and mythology of three ancient deities: Adonis, Attis, and Osiris. These deities were worshipped in various cultures throughout the ancient world, including Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Frazer's essays delve into the origins of these deities, their roles in their respective cultures, and the myths and rituals associated with them. He explores the similarities and differences between the three deities and their worship, as well as their connections to the cycles of nature and the agricultural calendar. Throughout the book, Frazer draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and comparative mythology. He also discusses the influence of these deities on later religions, such as Christianity and the cult of the Virgin Mary. Adonis Attis Osiris: Studies in the History of Oriental Religion is a seminal work in the field of comparative mythology and remains a classic of anthropological literature. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion, mythology, or ancient cultures.1906. In two volumes bound as one. Part IV of The Golden Bough, A Study in Magic and Religion. These studies are an expansion of the corresponding sections in Sir Frazer's book, The Golden Bough, and they will form a part of the third edition of that book. In studying afresh these three Oriental worships, he paid more attention than formerly to the natural features of the countries in which they arose, because he is more than ever persuaded that religion, like all other institutions, has been profoundly influenced by physical environment, and cannot be understood without some appreciation of those aspects of external nature which stamp themselves indelibly on the thoughts, the habits, the whole life of a people.
