   1. That was my first guess. The rendering of the name Kumarbi by modern   
   translators seems like a deliberate attempt to draw a parallel to the   
   Indian name Kumarbi.   
      
   2. However, this story does not take place in a bedroom. The nearest   
   parallel I can think of is Noah and Ham. Ham enters his father's   
   dwelling and sees his nakedness.   
      
   This story is sometimes interprated to mean that Ham has castrated his   
   father.   
      
   It's a bit of exegesis which explains why all known human lineages in   
   the Table of Nations comes from Shem, Ham and Japeth.   
      
   Why didn't Noah have any more children? Because he couldn't.   
      
   There is another exegetical story in which Noah's wife, Norah dies.   
   This serves the same explanatory purpose.   
      
   The son of Naoh and brother of Ham is named Japeth, similar to Iapetus,   
   son of Uranus and brother of Kronos.   
      
   3. It is of course Uranus and Kronos that is meant in the original   
   post, not Kronos and Zeus, and especially not .
