Narrating the Law of Incest: Jewish, Christian, and Zoroastrian Perspectives in Late Antiquity

Apr 6, 2016 at - | 421 Williams Hall, 255 S. 36th Street

Yishai Kiel will lecture on the dynamics of law, narrative, and myth, through the lens of incest. I will focus on rabbinic (Palestinian and Babylonian), Christian (Latin, Greek, and Syriac) and Zoroastrian (Pahlavi) traditions and highlight discursive and cultural distinctions (roughly between East and West).
