[muawiyah]

Alas, the OLDEST VERSION OF THE TALE has the woman turned to stone for not having gotten husbands for her daughters.

The Bible version, which is at least 4,000 years younger, ignores the woman's elemental responsibilities for her daughters' wellbeing and focuses on the plight of the hapless Lot.

The OLDEST VERSION OF THE TALE has as a moral at the end that the woman's husband then beds the daughters himself (now that momma has been turned to stone).

No doubt Moses was aghast when he first read it but he left it in (making sure, of course, that all proprieties were followed concerning nudity, and that Lot did not bear any conscious guilt himself because he was quite drunk ~ which is a defense we no longer allow).

The Biblical account has the daughters getting their father drunk and then bedding him. The tale got it backwards.

[Marysecretary]

He didn’t bed the daughters, THEY bed HIM when he was drunk with wine. He couldn’t tell who it was because he was soused.
