Note 374 — Chapter IV · THE UNCONSCIOUS ORIGIN OF THE HERO
Beatrice M. Hinkle translation

The infantile character of such scenes is shown by similar features, thus by the gigantic stature of Elias in the Koran, and also the tales of the commentary, in which it is stated that Elias and Chidher met each year in Mecca, conversed and shaved each other’s heads.
