The essay traces Eve’s temptation to St Paul and Persian origins, noting a Zoroastrian influence in Eden as a remote paradise. It identifies the serpent with a Parser/Ahriman spirit, not yet the satanic accuser, and explains the punishment of crawling on the belly as a mythic device to explain attributes.
