28. Laplantine's work also illustrates the emergence of a strand of anthropological thinking which draws heavily on literary examples. Note too the study of representations of illness and literature by the medical practitioner and literary specialist, Gérard Danou (Le Corps souffrant: littérature et médecine, Seyssel: Champ Vallon, 1994)

50. Note that, although the penis of the figurine is described as flaccid, the name Hermes comes from the herms, which took the form of the head of the god on a phallic-like stone pillar and which served as boundary stones (Arianna Stassinopoulos and Roloff Beny, The Gods of Greece, New York: Abrams 1983). Note too that, like the protagonist, he is associated with stealthy and sly eroticism (Friedrich, The Meaning of Aphrodite, 205
