Certain of the Gnostic sects, both pre- and post-Christian, appear to have been enthusiastic participants in the Attis mysteries; Hepding, in his Attis study, goes so far as to refer to Bishop Aberkios, to whose enigmatic epitaph our attention was directed in the last chapter, as "der Attis-Preister." Another element aided in the diffusion of the ritual.
Hepding holds that in some cases there was an actual burial, and awakening with the god to a new life. In any case it is clear that the successful issue of the test of initiation was dependent upon the resurrection and revival of the god. Now is it not clear that we have here a close parallel with the Grail romances?
