1478	ENT_HTT_KUMARBI	received_as	ENT_KRONOS	high	The Kumarbi→Kronos parallel is the centerpiece of West's (1997) argument for Near Eastern influence on Hesiod's Theogony. Both deities share an exact structural role: (1) they overthrow the ruling sky deity by biting/castrating the genitals (Kumarbi bites off Anu's genitals; Kronos castrates Ouranos with a sickle); (2) they absorb divine seed and become pregnant with the deity who will overthrow them; (3) they are themselves defeated by the storm deity son (Teshub/Zeus). This three-stage narrative is unique to the Kumarbi cycle among Near Eastern texts and uniquely explains why Hesiod's Theogony has the same three-stage structure. Transmission most likely via Anatolian-Greek contact in the 8th-7th c. BCE.	SRC_WEST_EAST_HELICON	reviewed	PER_GRK_ARCHAIC
