Ancient legends of water being transformed into wine or blood - TopicsExpress



          

Ancient legends of water being transformed into wine or blood attributed to characters like Osiris, Dionysus, Adonis, etc., are rooted in the natural phenomenon of a surplus of iron rich sediment washing into a body of water. This usually occurs when mountain snow melts and runs down into a river, bringing with it fresh deposits of reddish/burgundy/rusty colored soil. This was even understood in ancient times, as attested by Lucian of Samosata regarding the Adonis River in Lebanon. pinterest/dhyinbazuel/water-into-wineblood/
