In Montenegro, where patriarchal clan society still survives, the curse "Jebem ti oca" (I F*@k your father) is worse than the curse "Jebem ti majku" (I F*@k your mother). Because "F*@king" in curses is an act of defiling, humiliation and subduing...I talked about this in my post "Prokletija, cursing ceremony"...
Today I was reading something about Horus and came across "The Contendings of Horus and Seth" a mythological story from the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt written during the reign of Ramesses V, who reigned from 1149 to 1145 BC, and in it...
Well in it, we read that Set tried to prove his dominance over Horus by, basically, "F*@king" him. However, "Horus placed his hand between his thighs and caught Set's semen, which he then threw in the Nile river so that he may not be said to have been dominated by Set"...
Horus then deliberately spread his own semen on some lettuce, which was Set's favourite food. After Set had eaten the lettuce, they went to the gods to try to settle the argument over the rule of Egypt...
The gods first listened to Set's claim of dominance over Horus, and call his semen forth, but it answered from the river, invalidating his claim...
Then, the gods listened to Horus's claim of having dominated Set, and call his semen forth, and it answered from inside Set...
However, Set still refused to accept Horus's dominance...blah, blah blah...
It's all about domination...
My god dominating your god...Just like in Serbian curse "Jebem ti boga" (I F*@k your god)...
Do we find something like this in other cultures?
BTW, the above super cool illustration was done by @TheyTiltBak
