The sacred carcass was not an animal or a bird. But a human. Trembling, he lit the lamp. His eyes bulged out of their sockets. His clothes and hands were bloodied. Stumbling, he reached the altar. The temple was illuminated with countless torches. On the altar, straddled and torn apart, was a human body. He managed to recognize the Newborn. Then everything was transformed. Pain itself, despair and the night with its own creatures took pity on him. They gave him madness.
Next to the boy's lifeless body, the goddess Eurynome appeared. Shining, with Ophion at her feet. In her hands she held a white cloak, a thyrsus and a wicker wreath. She motioned for him to come closer.
