For those that are familiar with my work, you will know that Dionysus is thrice-born. Once as the child Zagreus who was killed, once from his mother Semele as Dionysus-Osiris, and once from the thigh of Zeus. However, my research has found an even older Dionysus who was the son of Ammon and who came before Zagreus (I will discuss this later). But without a doubt, Krishna is also Dionysus-Osiris and is often represented as a child and young man in the same manner as Dionysus. He was killed as a young man, too. Per Wikipedia:
According to Mahabharata, the Kurukshetra war resulted in the death of all 100 sons of Gandhari. On the night before Duryodhana's death, Lord Krishna visited Gandhari to offer his condolences. Gandhari felt that Krishna knowingly did not put an end to the war, and in a fit of rage and sorrow, Gandhari cursed that Krishna, along with everyone else from yadu dynasty, would perish after 36 years. Krishna himself knew and wanted this to happen as he felt that the Yadavas had become very haughty and arrogant(adharmi), so he ended Gandhari's speech by saying "tathastu".[80][81][82]
At a festival, a fight broke out between the Yadavas, who killed each other. His elder brother, Balarama, then gave up his body using Yoga. Krishna retired into the forest and started meditating under a tree. The Mahabharata also narrates the story of a hunter who kills Krishna. The hunter Jara, mistook Krishna's partly visible left foot for that of a deer, and shot an arrow, wounding and killing him mortally. After he realised the mistake, Krishna told Jara, "O Jara, you were Vaali in your previous birth, killed by myself as Rama in Tretayuga. Here you had a chance to even it and since all acts in this world are done as desired by me, you need not worry for this". Krishna's soul then ascended to heaven, while his mortal body was cremated by Arjuna.[83][84][85]
The Kurukshetra War is believed to date variously from 6000 BCE to 500 BCE,[1] based on the astronomical and literary information from Mahābhārata. The history of the Kurukshetra War is also traced to the Battle of the Ten Kings mentioned in Rigveda.[2]
Could the Kurukshetra war have been the war of the Titans? Or could this have been the wars of Dionysus as described in the Dionysiaca? Could the Battle of the Ten Kings have been the Titanomachy? I will research this further. The timing would place this war at about 8000 years ago which is less than my time estimates of about 16,000 to 17,000 years ago.
