Add to ORKGWhen dry weather continued, the people of the ancient world killed a bull or a horse, cut its neck and threw it into the river. The bull/horse was an incarnation of the water god. The blood of the killed bull/horse was supposed to stir the dying water god to make the rain fall. This means that a new season had begun. Thus the season in chaos was replaced by a new season. The king was a symbol of the seasons, linked with the change of weather. He was annually killed and resurrected by the young victim's blood. The victim was an incarnation of the king. When the new king ascended the throne, the first thing for him to do was to make rain, killing a bull or a horse, thus returning the disordered reign to an ordered one.13KJ00004276412論文Article...
