520 |a The third chapter of Bavli Ta'anit includes a plethora of aggadot , among them such famous stories as those about Honi the Circle-Drawer. Rabbinic stories are most commonly studied in isolation from each other, although recent scholarship has increasingly called attention to the literary contexts of aggadot . The present article attempts to take this enterprise one step further and to explore the interrelationships among the aggadot in this chapter of Bavli . I argue that there is a set of motifs and themes that weave throughout many of the aggadot in this chapter, which suggests that we might see the chapter as a literary unit, and I begin by surveying these themes and motifs. I go on to look at biblical narratives that are echoed in some of these motifs, and I consider how the echoes of these narratives in our chapter contribute to our chapter's discussion of issues such as prayer in times of crisis and divine compassion. Finally, I explore the meaning of the elements that I have highlighted in relation to the chapter's focus on rain, and I offer some thoughts about the chapter's stance on core issues relating to prayer and to proper and improper domains of human activity and attempted control.
