James realized with horror: this man was the surrogate. He had not killed a king. He had been fed by the city for a year, dressed in royal clothes, honored at every feast. But now, as the crops failed, the city’s sickness was poured onto him. He was beaten with fig branches, driven to a cliff’s edge, and pushed into the void.

The Golden Bough reveals that beneath all myths—from Nemi to Calvary—lies a single, terrifying, and beautiful human pattern: the belief that death, when chosen or imposed upon the sacred, brings life.
