Euphorion of Xalxis (3rd Century BCE):
(Death, Sacrifice, Resurrection of Dionysus-Zagreus)

[Διονύσωι δέ φασιν]
[εἶναι τρεῖς γενέ-]
[σεις, μίαν μὲν τού]
των `τὴν ἐκ´ τῆς μ[ητρός]
ἑτέραν δὲ τ[ὴν ἐκ]
τοῦ μηροῦ [Διός, τρί]-
την δὲ τὴ[ν ὅτε δι]-
ασπασθεὶς ὑ[πὸ τῶν]
Τιτάνων ῾Ρέα[ς τὰ]
μέλη συνθε[ίσης]
ἀνεβίω{ι}. κἀν [τῆι]
Μοψοπία[ι] δ’ Εὐ[φορί]-
ων [ὁ]μολογεῖ [τού]-
τοις. [οἱ] δ᾿ Ὀρ[φικοὶ]
καὶ παντά[πασιν]
ἐνδιατρε[ίβουσιν] …34
[They say that Dionysos had three births: one] of these is that from his
m[other], another [that from] the thigh [of Zeus], and the third the one
[when] he was torn apart by [the] Titans and came back to life after
Rhea reassembled his limbs. (space) And in [his] Mopsopia Euphorion
agrees with this (account); [the] Orph[ics] too dwell on (it) intensively.
