Cultural Transfer in Light of Seth Baˁal and Their Relationship

Abstrakt

This paper addresses some theories which lie behind the process of culture transfer. The issue is approached through dynamic relations of the West-Semitic deity Baˁal and the Egyptian Seth.

This paper opposes the idea of the simple identification of these deities and tries to provide a more nuanced approach. The scholarly approach needs to reflect possible perspectives and must differentiate between the viewpoints of a scholar and that of "adherents".

The goal of this paper is to inspire those who want to deal with cultural transfer and translatability.
