Question

This Greek god was once carried up Mount Ida in a red winnowing basket by the goddess Hipta. The Gurob Papyrus mentions four of the toys given to this god, including a top, knucklebones, and a mirror, that became ritual artifacts. According to Olympiodorus, this god is the source of the divine essence present in human bodies, which form, in a “fallen world” narrative, (-5[1])from the smoke of beings killed by lightning bolts. After conceiving this god in the form of a (*) serpent, Zeus puts (10[1])him under (10[1])the protection of the Curetes (kyu-REE-teez). (-5[1])This god’s heart is saved, ground into a potion, and given to Semele (SEH-mih-lee) after his dismemberment by (10[1])the Titans. For 10 points, name this child of Persephone, who, according to the Orphic Mysteries, is killed by (10[1])the Titans and reborn as the god of (10[1])wine. ■END■
