And associated with the Orphic Mysteries, like he is Orpheus or he's Orpheus' divine guide and/or chtonic foil Huh, which makes it interesting that the aboveground tale of Orpheus and Euridyce for the normies has the Bacchantes kill him

Kind of like the Gospels possibly turning Jesus and Barabbas into two people

He's the other guy who was gonna get crucified that day, Pontius Pilate tells the angry mob he's gonna pardon one of the criminals and they all vote for Barabbas

It's supposed to be ironic and show that the crowd has Jesus' blood on their hands because Barabbas actually is a violent revolutionary and a murderer while Jesus is innocent

But if in real life Jesus IS Barabbas (because "bar-Abbas" just means "Son of the Father" and Jesus used the word "Abba", Father, to mean God all the time) then splitting him up like this represents Christians cutting themselves off from their past as Jewish rebels

Well yeah like Orpheus himself was kind of a god but mostly he's supposed to literally be a historical human, the guy who wrote down whatever the big secret in the Mysteries is Like Siddhartha himself becoming identified with the concept of "Buddha"

When you consider that the actual Orphic Mysteries were this whole thing about the quest for eternal life, the story of Orpheus and Eurydice is so clearly one of those Caveman Science Fiction-style tales for the normies "Yeah you can try this shit but you'll get fucked up"
