Zitat von "Paolo E. Rosati via INDOLOGY" <[email protected]>:
Dear all,
while I was reading Eliade's *Images and Symbols*, my attention was struck
by his vague reference to an "oriental mythology", which affirms that the
pearl was born from the penetration of a lightning inside a shell/oyster.
I think he got this information from *Realencyclopädie der Classischen
Altertumswissenschaft* (entry: "Margaritai"), but I am not sure at all.
Can someone indicate a more specific reference to this myth? or to other
myths related to the pearl?
With my best wishes,
Paolo
