Description
Summary:The main theme of this article is the didactic elements of the book of Jonah. How to guarantee the divine presence is the essence of the learning. The divine presence is fundamental for human survival and blessing. Therefore the didactic elements are about purification and fasting. The ritual relationship to Yom Kippur is stressed. The Anatolian myth of the disappearing storm God Telepinu is used as a parallel together with Sophocles' tragedy Oedipus Rex. Obviously, this drama has a connection to the pharmakos rite at the Thargelia festival. The article also focuses on the Aristotelian element of catharsis, a kind of identification between the audience and the tragedy. The article investigates this kind of education or paideia common both to the Greek material and the biblical.
