Time within the story

Overview

From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.

Cast

Who is in it

Gods and people whose own records place them in this story.

What this means

Read from the other end: computed from those records, not from this one. A figure appearing here does not make this the only story they are in, and a relationship attested in one account holds in that account.

  • AdamPart of it

    first man according to the Abrahamic creation and religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam

  • EvePart of it

    the first woman in the story of Genesis

Told in

The text that tells it

The one text on record, with its own date on the source clock.

What this means

A story is a group of accounts. Each carries its own source, its own cast and its own relationships, and where two disagree both stand. The texts above are works whose records say the story appears in them or is part of them; each date is the text’s own, on the source clock, never the date of the story. Account-level readings — a locator such as “Hesiod, Theogony 886–900”, with that account’s own cast and relationships — are not held yet: 0. The structured data this site imports records stories as subjects and has no equivalent of a narrative account. When accounts are added, reading one will change only the relationships that account asserts. Nothing will be deleted to make them agree.

Connections

How Adam and Eve connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Identification 1

What this means

One figure treated as another in some context. Not literal identity in all contexts, and usually a claim by a third party.

Does not imply literal identity in all contexts · that either tradition made the identification

Recorded events and days 1

What this means

Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began.

Does not imply that these are all the events in its history · that Wikidata ranks the events by importance
