	Zagreus
		The Doctor tries to warn her that the TARDIS itself has become Zagreus, but the Brigadier scoffs and informs him that this is not the case.
		Knowing that he will soon be overwhelmed by the Zagreus side of his personality, the Doctor gives Charley the anti-Time sword and begs her to kill him before he is lost forever.
		The war with the Vampires was first mentioned in State of Decay; however, their background in Zagreus contradicts The Pit and Interference, which claim that the Vampires and their kin, the Yssgaroth, were forces of ultimate evil unleashed into the Universe by the Time Lords’ own early experiments.

	Zagreus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)

		It’s an uncomfortable position for her to be in, and the Doctor realises this, but the Zagreus inside him is angry, and although it’s hard to tell who is who within him it seems to me that the Doctor has become very bitter about his people and his home.
		Overall however, 'Zagreus' is so riddled with "fanwank" that it creaks beneath the weight of contrived references to the past and by the time of the inevitable team-up between recreated past Doctors as Winky, Tepesh and Townsend realize how they know things they shouldn't it's all become interminable.
		When 'Zagreus' finally and fortunately reaches its end, the self-indulgent mining of the past does at least give way to the possibility of an exciting new era, as the Doctor and the writers are given the opportunity to explore a whole new universe.

	Aural Adventures in Time and Space!
		Zagreus wants to be an epic story, worthy of celebrating forty years of Doctor Who.
		Zagreus should never be entertained while under the influence.
		Zagreus is different – not necessarily better or more grown up but in my opinion definitely less enjoyable than “real” Doctor Who.

	Reviews of Zagreus
		Zagreus is the epic 40th anniversary tale, fashioned to bring back a myriad of actors and actresses who have helped make the show what it is today.
		Yes, at almost four hours, Zagreus is a bit long, and yes, it takes a couple listens to absorb the plot, but there is no denying that there is a sense of celebration at the heart of the tale.
		Zagreus is enjoyable, but only if you don't stop to wonder about the clutter.

		Zagreus is a conscious attempt to deviate from the typical romps which have tended to characterise the anniversary stories of Doctor Who in the past.
		As Zagreus, the Doctor struck her and then threatened her with more violence which to Charley was something inconceivable given her knowledge of the Doctor’s character.
		Zagreus was written as an epic and ambitious story to mark two distinctive occasions, but it ultimately ends up as a victim of its own intentions by trying too hard to be special.

		Zagreus (later Bacchus or Iacchos) is the divine Son, the third of the Orphic Trinity, the other two being Zeus the Demiurge or divine All-father, and Demeter-Kore, the earth goddess in her twofold aspect as the divine Mother and the mortal maid.
		Hera, however, poisoned the mind of Semele with suspicion when the new-forming body of Zagreus within her reached the seventh month of gestation, and Semele impelled Zeus to reveal himself to her in his true form, whereupon the mortal body of Semele was destroyed by the divine fire.
		Zagreus as Dionysos is known as the god of many names, most of which refer to his twofold character as the suffering mortal Zagreus, and the immortal or reborn god-man. Many titles also refer to him as the mystic savior.

	4 Orphic reform
		This divine son was Dionysus Zagreus, or "the hunter." He was the favorite of his father, and Zeus destined him to become the ruler of the universe.
		In the sacrificial bull his god Zagreus was ritualistically incarnate; hence, in eating the raw flesh of the torn bull, be partook of a divine substance that nourished and strengthened the immortal life within himself.
		With the legend of the divine child Zagreus in mind, they looked upon their own ritual as a re-enactment of the ancient tragedy in which their god was done to death by the Titans.

		Zagreus' living heart, saved from the butchery, was now swallowed by Zeus, who passed it on supernaturally in begetting his next divine son, Dionysus.
		In Orphic belief, Zagreus' ghoulish murder was a kind of Original Sin, in which all humans shared.
		Consequently, atonement had to be made to Zagreus' bereaved mother, Persephone, who, as queen of the Underworld, judges people after death.

	Zagreus Abstract
		Although the myth of Zagreus provides a seductively simple and neat explanation of the cryptic gold tablets, it is unfortunately a modern creation that could not have been known to the 'Orphics' of Timpone Piccolo.
		The pieces of the Zagreus myth reveal, not a single canonical story providing crucial dogma for the 'Orphic Church', but rather a multitude of tales told about the death of Dionysos and the punishment of the Titans, each with its own meaning woven out of the differing combinations of the traditional motifs.
		I next show that, viewed without the framework of the Zagreus myth, the pieces of evidence provide testimony to a variety of tellings of the dismemberment myth, which was not the exclusive property of the 'Orphics' but rather a well-known element in the Greek mythic tradition.

		The Thracian Dionysus-Zagreus is a direct Orphic borrowing in the dramatic Dionysian reincarnation of the doctrinal chthonic son of the Great Mother Goddess while the Greek authors perceive Sabazios as a character of the ritual presentation, as an acting foreign god.
		The versions of the myth of Zagreus in the Ancient Greek literature put Zagreus next to Persephone (Semele) while Sabazios is always next to Cybele (the Great Mother) or will be mentioned standing by her hypostases such the Asia Minor goddesses Angdistis or Ma.
		The author distinguishes Zagreus and Sabazios as two different gods, the first one born as a “corned snake” and the other one transformed into a snake, which was the symbol of his intemperance.

		She might have been the mother of his first-born son, Zagreus, a role often confused with Zeus’s daughter, Persephone.
		Zagreus was later killed by the Titans exiled to Tartarus by Zeus, but Hecate showed Zeus how to restore him to life and Zagreus was eventually reborn as Dionysus, the wine-god.
		As an underworld goddess, Hecate was convinced she was to rule the underworld as wife to Hades but was offended when he abducted Persephone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, to be his bride.

		Zagreus and Keep hoped that by working together they could soon become a formidable force and in several years they would perhaps have another chance to escape their limited reality.

		Zagreus is good as a celebration of the show's past, but great at demonstrating the strength of its present and possibilities of its future.
		Zagreus is exhausting by any standards, and, if you were to listen to this directly after Neverland, you can only sympathize with Charley, who is stressed to breaking point by the end of Disc 3.
		Zagreus' main purpose, however, seems to be a story so bad that the Doctor would rather take a running jump into a dimension gate than suffer Zagreus 2: Attack of the Killer Neverperson.
