📜Etymology

The name of the Greek god Adonis is similar to a Semitic word— adon (which means " lord "). Scholar Walter Burkert stated about the hypothetical deity "Adon" : " there is in Semitic tradition no known cult connected with this title which corresponds exactly to the Greek cult, to say the nothing of a counterpart to the Greek Adonis myth " but for the cult of Adonis points to an inherited tradition stemming directly from the Mesopotamian cult of Tammuz-Dumuzid
