There were some who said that he shared half the year with the goddess of death, and the other half only with the goddess of love ; there were others who declared that his year was divided into three — 230 LECTURE IV, four months was he condemned to dwell in Hades, four months he was free to live where he might choose, while the other four were passed in the companionship of Ash- toreth, and that it was to Ashtoreth that he devoted his months of freedom.

It was inevitable, therefore, that in the days of Egyptianising fashion, Adonis and Osiris should be looked upon as the same god, and that the festival of Adonis at Gebal should be assimilated to that of Osiris in Egypt.
