The article studies the story of Lazarus (John 11) in the context of three ancient texts: Plato’s parable of the cave, novels based on ancient mystery cults exemplified by the Greek story of „Kallirhoë“ by Chariton, and the Secret Gospel of Mark. Conclusion: though well hidden, the theme of baptism informs the whole story of the raising of Lazarus. Ritually, the person being baptised is pushed into the realm of death (the cave), so that he can emerge to a new life.

Otto painted a rather sombre picture of Dionysos as god of extremes, with an emphasis on madness, cruelty, suffering, and death. This picture is partly due to a manipulation of the literary evidence, and mainly to the neglect of the god’s rendering in art. "
