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, from the smoke of beings killed by lightning bolts. After conceiving this god in the form of a (*) serpent, Zeus puts him under the protection of the Curetes (kyu-REE-teez). This god’s heart is saved, ground into a potion, and given to Semele (SEH-mih-lee) after his dismemberment by the Titans. For 10 points, name this child of Persephone, who, according to the Orphic Mysteries, is killed by the Titans and reborn as the god of (10[2])wine. ■END■
