Jacob and Jason: A Comparative Study of Biblical and Argonautic Myth | Dr. Bruce Louden

Jacob and Jason: A Comparative Study of Biblical and Argonautic Myth In this thought-provoking lecture, we explore striking parallels between the Hebrew Bible’s Jacob cycle (Genesis 27–33) and the Argonautic myth of Jason and Medea. Drawing on classical sources and biblical narratives, the speaker traces twelve recurring motifs—from sibling rivalry and divine theophany to ritual ideologies and magical assistance—arguing that the Genesis narrative does not merely resemble but enters into dialogic engagement with Greek heroic tradition. Through a close literary and thematic comparison, the lecture illuminates how Genesis may be reworking, adapting, or even subtly critiquing elements found in older or contemporary Mediterranean mythologies. Special attention is paid to: Jacob’s morally ambiguous character compared to Jason. Rachel’s parallel to Medea, especially through the use of mandrakes and the theft of sacred objects. Divine interventions, cultic explanations, and ritual etiologies shared across the two traditions. The video presents a compelling case for intertextuality and cultural adaptation, offering both lay and academic audiences a fresh lens for interpreting biblical texts in the broader context of ancient Near Eastern and Hellenistic literature.
