The Hebrew prophet-hero Yonah, (Jonah,) who is swallowed and vomited by the great fish or water-monster, is,—at least in so far as connected with the monster,—undoubtedly the offspring of the sun-myth.  It were idle to discuss the question, whether he had a real existence; in all probability he is partly a mythic, partly a poetic creation.  But we may note the similarity of the names Oanh, Yonah, and their close resemblance to one form of the Flood-name.  The name, at least, would seem to have crept into these stories from the Flood-legend.
