Summary: | Like their pagan neighbours, whose legends survived mainly in the Alexander romance, the Jews of Alexandria glorified the early history of their hometown. They too told stories about Alexander the Great, but they replaced the pagan traditions about Agathos Daimon and snake cult with the legends about Jeremiah and Alexander. Die Juden Alexandriens verklärten wie ihre heidnischen Nachbarn, deren Legenden vor allem im Alexanderroman die Jahrhunderte überdauert haben, die Ursprünge ihrer Heimat. Auch sie erzählten von Alexander dem Großen, aber ersetzten die heidnischen Überlieferungen vom Agathos Daimon und der Schlangenverehrung durch Jeremia-Alexander-Legenden. |
