Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Friends, based on parallels (e.g. Old Norse Ymir) the central motif of the puruSa-sUkta has been considered to be of Indo-European origin. However, there are other, non-IE versions of the myth. I have read Bruce Lincoln's 1986 book, Myth, Cosmos and Society. Indo-European Themes of Creation and Destruction. [Thank you, Lars Martin, for the suggestion!] Is there anything else important to read on this? Something more recent, or presenting the opposite view, or adding more material? Thank you, Ferenc ----------------------- Ferenc Ruzsa, PhD associate professor of philosophy Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest e-mail: f_ruzsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
