Combat Pragmatist/Oral Tradition

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Combat Pragmatist in Oral Tradition, Folklore, Myths and Legends include:

  • The Bible: Two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi ended up slaughtering all the men of an entire city because their prince had raped their sister. How did they achieve this? By telling the men they would let the prince marry their sister if all the men of the city agreed to be circumcised. That took all the fighting men out of commission, and their conquest of the city was incredibly easy. Their father Jacob, however, hated this and told them this only made more trouble than practicality for them for them in the long run, because now all the Canaanite tribes viewed them as enemies and would turn against them.
