 One of the most famous sayings from the Gnostic Gospels, expressing a typically paradoxical view of man's higher nature. Several events in this novel invite us to consider the meaning of devouring or being devoured. Lions themselves do not appear in the Anglocentric world of ''Riddley Walker'', but are prominent in Middle Eastern mythology—and also in Russell Hoban's novels, particularly ''The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz'' and ''Pilgermann''.

 * dedication: "to Wieland"
 Wieland is the youngest of Russell Hoban's children. In a coincidence that is appropriate to this novel, Wieland (Wayland, Weland, Volundr) in Germanic myth was a demigod and master metalworker, who forged the sword of Siegfried.
