Summary
This chapter deals with the motif of the planting of the first vineyard after the Flood in Gen 9:20–27 and Greek genealogical traditions. Both place the story about the discovery of the vine within the genealogical sequence of the eponymous fathers and first inventors, whereas no parallel can be found in Mesopotamian literature.
