| Abstract | ||
| It seems that the roots of the legend of Adonis refers to the Lavantine provenance, and also it seems that it was a female celebration under the name of "The Gardens of Adonis" . There is another festival very close to the festival of Adonis it is called Adonia at Byblos, but the difference it was celebrated by both males and females in the temple of the divine lover, while the Greek Adonis was pure in the women hands . The story of Adonis was very close to the Mesopotamian myth of Ishtar and Tammuz ,as according to the ancient myth of Ishtar this festival was like a female rite which was transmitted from a woman to another woman as the festival was only to a single gender . The destiny of Adonis was death as he was killed by a wild boar, the same destiny faced Attis who had a story similar to Adonis. | ||
