Wilson argues that the root actually has its beginnings in the libation toasts offered at ancient rites celebrating grapes and wine. The examination of the philological origins of the serpent symbol vis-ê-vis its role in the Eden drama therefore opens new vistas of interpretation. The work was originally written as Wilson's doctoral dissertation at Yale U. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
