|
For both ancient Egypt and Iran, as a cultural feature, incestuous
relationships are usually dismissed on the grounds that they are
only found as the exception, being allowed for royalty as
representatives for the divine on earth, or that the evidence for
such relationships are unreliable. Neither view, from the
perspective of this study, is tenable. This work examines the
evidence for marriage and sexual relations between siblings, and
between a parent and child, in ancient Egypt and pre-Islamic Iran.
The book restricts its examination to incestuous relationships
between members of non-royal nuclear families and puts forth
arguments against the generally held axiom that the prohibition of
incest is a universal phenomenon.
