dc.description.abstract In this presentation, Correntel discusses the myths of Inanna/Ishtar's, Baal's and Dionysus's death and resurrection in a comparative perspective, moving from textual evidence. He also addresses the major critical points later studies detected in Frazer's views, at the same time offering an alternative interpretation of the pattern consistent with the religious vision of the ancient sources. The aim is, thus, twofold. The reappraisal of the meaning of these three myths can serve the purpose both of reconsidering the reality of Frazer's dying gods and of discussing basic issues in the history of religions (comparative methodology; definitions) in the light of contemporary hermeneutical trends.
