Incestuous And Close-Kin Marriage In Ancient Egypt And Persia
Examines the evidence for marriage and sexual relations between siblings and between parent and child in ancient Egypt and pre-Islamic Iran. This book examines the sources for incestuous relationships between members of non-royal nuclear families and puts forth the generally held axiom that the prohibition of incest is a universal phenomenon.
