2386	ENT_ATTIS	aligned_with	ENT_DIONYSUS	medium	Attis and Dionysus are structurally parallel as dying-and-rising vegetation deities whose mystery cults share key elements: ecstatic mourning rites, dismemberment/castration as the divine wound, a resurrection narrative that grounds the initiates' hope for personal renewal, and a passionate divine attendant group (Galli ~ Maenads). Firmicus Maternus (De Errore Profanarum Religionum 3.1, 4th c. CE) explicitly pairs the two cults in his polemic against mystery religions, reflecting their ancient perceived parallelism. Confidence medium: no ancient text explicitly equates them, but the parallel structure is widely recognized in ancient commentary and modern scholarship. Vermaseren (1977) p. 185.
