Prometheus is the other classic "wound in side"
reference; he can be seen as a prefiguration of
Christ, in that he sacrifices himself for the
benfit of mankind.
Prometheus is non-human (he is a Titan), and the
benfit is physical and ambigious, rather than
spiritual and unmixed, so there are differences.
Not having read the story at issue, I can't guess
which makes more sense.
