the
alternate of." Stucken's comparison I, A, goes: Moses in the ark = spark
of fire in the ark = Pandora's books = Eve's apple; I, B: Moses in the ark
= the exposed = the fatherless = the persecuted = the deluge hero [the one
floating in the ark]. II, A: Eve's apple = Moses in the ark = Onan's seed
= fire = soma = draught of knowledge, etc. III, B: Tearing open of the
womb = decapitation or dismemberment = exposure = separation of the first
parents. IV, B: The dismembered [man or woman] = the rejuvenated = the
reborn [m. or w.]. VI, A: Potiphar motive = separation of first parents =
Onan motive. VII, A: The wicked stepmother = Potiphar's wife = man eater.
VII, B: Flight from the "man eater" = flight from Potiphar's wife = flight
from the wicked stepmother = separation of the first parents = magic
flight. IX, A: The first parents = magic flight. IX, A: The killed ram =
Thor's ram = Thyestes' meal = soma. XIII, A: The exposed = the persecuted

Scapegoat = ark. XXVIII: Wrestling match = rape of women = rape of soma =
opening of the chest [opening of the hole] = rape of the garments [of the
bathing swan ladies]. XXIX: Castration = tearing asunder [consuming] of
the mother's body = the final conflagration = the deluge. XXXIII, A:
Dragonfight = wrestling match = winning of the offered king's daughter =
rape of the women = rape of fire = deluge. XL, A: Incest motive = Potiphar
motive. XL, B: Incest = violation of a [moral] prohibition. XL, C: Seducer
[male or female] to incest = "man-eater." XLIV, A: The father who rejects
the daughter = "man eater." XLIV, B: Separation of the first parents =
refusal of the daughter [refusal of the "king's daughter" promised to the
dragon fighter] = substitution. XLV, A: Sodomy = substitution = rape =
parthenogenesis = marriage of mortal with the immortal = seduction =
adultery = incest = love = embraces of the first parents = wrestling
match. Otherwise is marriage of mortal with the immortal = incest =
separation of the first parents. (SAM Book 5.)
