Zagreus was a character within a Gallifreyan nursery rhyme and was a boogeyman to the Time Lords (Similar to how the Toclafane were as to bogeyman stories the Doctor and the Master used to hear when they were children), (DW: The Sound of Drums BFA: Neverland)

"Zagreus sits inside your head. Zagreus lives among the dead... Zagreus sees you in your bed And eats you when you're sleeping First verse of Zagreus rhyme."

Legends stated that Rassilon himself destroyed Zagreus when the Yssgaroth came into the Universe as the Eye of Harmony was created. It was said by the Neverpeople that when a casket of Anti-Time was detonated at the Capitol then chaos would engulf the Universe and the empire of Zagreus would form. When the Doctor prevented this attempt, he absorbed the Anti-Time particles into his own body becoming a dark being and the embodiment of Zagreus. (BFA: Neverland)

"Zagreus at the end of days. Zagreus lies other ways. Zagreus comes when time's a maze. And all of history is weeping. Second verse of Zagreus rhyme"
