| Summary: | The article investigates the «two stelae» tradition found in Josephus' Jewish Antiquities and other accounts. The analysis of these accounts shows that they contain traces of the Enochic traditions. It appears that these «two stelae» stories interact with the Enochic traditions by way of attributing various Enochic roles to the alleged «authors» of the antediluvian stelae. The attribution involves substantial rewriting of the original Enochic motifs and themes. The analysis also shows that the interaction of «two stelae» stories with Enochic traditions seems to involve some details of the Watchers/Giants' story. |
