Abstract

We study here a fantastic legend with old roots in the Jewish Literature: The creation of an artificial being by magical means with variable consequences. This structure appears in different ages and cultures. In this paper, we examine the morphology, mythical origins and derivations of the legend in the Modern Hebrew Literature.
