|    Castration myths - question    |
|    27 Jan 05 10:20:31    |
      From: dkrasne@socrates.berkeley.edu              OK, so, I'm absolutely convinced that I read somewhere, many years ago,       about a myth from maybe India or Persia that reminds me precisely of the       story of Zeus and Cronus: one god goes into the bedroom of another while       that second god is in the process of having sex and cuts off his       genitals.              However, I briefly glanced through a bunch of my books on mythology last       night, and I couldn't find anything at all.              Does anyone have an idea as to what it might have been?              Thanks,       Darcy                     -----------------------------------------------------------       "Always keep your bowler on in time of stress, and watch       out for diabolical masterminds."        --Emma Peel, in "The Avengers"       -----------------------------------------------------------              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
