The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pagan and Christian Creeds by Edward Carpenter: it appears that the victims, in later times, instead of being
slain, were tossed from a height into the sea, and after
being rescued were then simply banished; while at Leucatas
a similar festival the fall of the victim was
graciously broken by tying feathers and even living birds to
his body.[4]
