Information from old pages of study I did with a friend back in the 80s who studied pagan religions. I could go on with how Semiramis who was the wife of the Babylonian King Nimrod. After Nimrods death Semiramis had an illegitimate son named Tamuz who she said was the resurrected Nimrod. Tamuz was killed by a wild pig on a hunt and in remembrance of him she declared Him a god and herself a goddess. She then declared that every spring the citizens were to eat salt pork. Need more?
I have studied this stuff for a lot of years now.
