5. Deuteronomy 27:21-22 Anyone will be cursed who has sexual relations with an animal. Then all the people will say, Amen! A man will be cursed who has sexual relations with his sister, whether she is his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter. Then all the people will say, Amen! 6. Leviticus 20:15-16 If a man has sex with an animal, he must be put to death, and the animal must be killed. If a woman presents herself to a male animal to have intercourse with it, she and the animal must both be put to death. You must kill both, for they are guilty of a capital offense. 7. Leviticus 18:22-30 “Men, you must not have sexual relations with another man as with a woman. That is a terrible sin! “Men, you must not have sexual relations with any animal. This will make you filthy. And women, you must not have sexual relations with any animal. It is against nature! “Don’t make yourself unclean by doing any of these wrong things! I am throwing nations off their land and giving it to you because they did those terrible sins. They made the land filthy. Now the land is sick of those things, and it will vomit out the people who live there. “So you must obey my laws and rules. You must not do any of these terrible sins. These rules are for the citizens of Israel and the people living among you. Those who lived in the land before you have done all these terrible things. So the land became filthy. If you do these things, you will make the land filthy. And it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were there before you. Whoever does any of these terrible sins must be separated from their people! Other people have done these terrible sins, but you must obey my laws. You must not do any of these terrible sins. Do not make yourself filthy with these terrible sins. I am the Lord your God.” ... https://biblereasons.com/bestiality/ IMO, bestiality was a well known sign of civilizational decadence Bible/holly books were some sort of field manuals, "how to properly maintain a nation/civilization 101 (without vanishing just last the previous ones)" People back then didn't have time nor resources to write novels just for the sake of it Same goes for the knights of the round table, which came much later, same deal it was a matter of survival driving the whole project; Nobility needed role models, for knights, take back jerusalem and all that, at a time when their young where basically turning into spoiled brats/thugs pillaging their own towns Same could be said about homer's odyssey Some say it's a coded navigation map, where troubles are at sea basically, plus a couple of other stuffs required to be kept secret and shared at the same time
