Osiris-Dionysus

The term Osiris-Dionysus is used by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy to refer to a group of deities worshipped around the Mediterranean in the centuries prior to the emergence of Christianity. Freke and Gandy argue that these deities were closely related and shared many characteristics, most notably being male, partly human, born of virgins, life-death-rebirth deities and other similar characteristics such as having twelve disciples.
