Removing the heart of the victim and holding it over the priest's head as it continued to pump to drink the blood was not only a sacrifice to a false god, but was an open display of power over the people that congregated. In classic mythology ‘ambrosia’ is used to define “the food of the gods, said to bestow immortality”. Was this adrenochrome? The “Titans” in Greek mythology, of which the youngest was Cronus, would eat his children so as to prevent the prophesy that he would be overthrown by one of his own children. Some scholars have argued that in Phoenician, Greek, and Babylonian history the shamanic ritual underlies the myth of the dismemberment and cannibalism of Dionysus by the Titans. The planet Saturn is named for the Roman equivalent of the Titan Cronus.
