In this article, I address the ‘old’ question of the ‘dying god’. James G. Frazer’s famous and neglected category is currently considered wrong and outdated and, therefore, not even studied anymore.Through the presentation of the critical positions of Jonathan Z. Smith, I discuss the cases of Dionys...

520 | |a In this article, I address the ‘old’ question of the ‘dying god’. James G. Frazer’s famous and neglected category is currently considered wrong and outdated and, therefore, not even studied anymore.Through the presentation of the critical positions of Jonathan Z. Smith, I discuss the cases of Dionysus, Baal and Inanna/Ishtar. Although they have received little attention (as studies which depart from the dominant critical current generally have), they prove that Frazer’s intuition is not entirely wrong and that there is still much material to explore.In questo articolo affronto la ‘vecchia’ questione del ‘dying god’, il dio morente e risorgente.

Smith, discuto i casi di Dioniso, Baal e Inanna/Ishtar, che, sebbene abbiano ricevuto poca attenzione (come in genere gli studi che si discostano dalla corrente critica dominante), provano che l’intuizione di Frazer non è del tutto errata e che c’è ancora molto materiale da esplorare.. | ||
