Note

1. I would like to thank Fred Turner, Ashley Montagu, Robert Storey, Dudley Young, and especially Joe Carroll, for helpful comments and criticisms. To respond to them all would involve writing a whole book rather than a transcript of a twenty-minute paper, but the very number and quality of critical comments encourages me to think that at least I have hit on a worthwhile theme, even if I haven’t covered all the angles in this short space. I have tried to do without references, but the rather cryptic summary of the “basic pattern” is fully spelled out in my The Red Lamp of Incest (New York: Dutton 1980; 2nd. ed. Notre Dame, IN: Notre Dame University Press 1983); and the obviously contentious point about the “secondary” nature of the incest theme, particularly in the Theban cycle of Sophocles, is dealt with at length in chapter 3 “The Virgin and the Godfather” of my Reproduction and Succession (New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction Publishers, 1993.) My own analysis of “The Fragmentation of Trickster” is in chapter 15 of The Challenge of Anthropology (Transaction Publishers, 1994.) Frederick Turner’s work which was mentioned can be found in his Natural Classicism (New York: Paragon House, 1985) and The Culture of Hope (New York: Free Press, 1995.) Readers should also be on the lookout for Robert Storey’s Mimesis and the Human Animal (Northwestern University Press, 1996.)
