re wound in side [Digest urth.v003.n012]

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. -John
