I'm not the first to say that. I just copied. I should have added that the antique Greek tragedies reflect the pains of the transition from matriarchal egalitarianism to patriarchy, debating e.g. if it is a crime for a man to kill his mother or to kill his father. If the lineage via the mothers womb or the fathers semen is more important and a closer tie making it a worse crime to kill a close kin. The Old Testament of the Christian Bible has another legend exemplifying another element in this transition, the replacement of the sacrifice of the first son by the sacrifice of an animal, which required the existence of animals as private property and animals being large enough as being considered valuable enough to replace a human life. The latter was missing to the Azteks and the Mayas in the northern part of central America, which made them impossible to pass over to a full fledged patriarchal society.
