- [Footnote: Thus in any case man is his own generator, immortal and a hero,
whereby the highest wishes are fulfilled.]</poem>
(Living a blameless life whereby I became an initiate of the
Idaean Zeus, I celebrated the carnivorous banquet of Zagreus,
the wandering herdsman of the night.)
The mystics took the god into themselves by eating the uncooked meat
of the sacrificial animal.]
