 * Margaret Mead has called our attention to an aspect of sex in remarriage which has not before been extensively commented on, namely, the dangers of what might be called pseudoincest: stepfathers attracted to their stepdaughters; stepdaughters seducing stepfathers; sexual attraction between stepbrothers and stepsisters; and stepmothers and stepsons similarly attracted to one another.

 * Whether fact or fiction, Antiochus and Stratonice is a good story. It is complex and intriguing, mixing eroticism with politics, virtue with immorality, and the revelation of truth with deception and concealment, all in the context of an exotic court drama. At the core of the story lay the disturbing assertion that a father had passed his wife to his son. This pseudoincest plot toyed with cultural taboos of the Persian East and the Greco-Roman West, anticipating Sigmund Freud's later naming of the Oedipus complex as an unconscious sexual desire.

 * According to the Ehrenbergs, when fathers become aroused by their daughters’ sexuality, they may react in destructive ways. Some become aloof in order to defend themselves against their feelings of sexual attraction; some turn against their daughters, becoming critical of their growing womanliness in order to curb their own distress; some engage in “pseudoincest” by being sexually seductive; and some, in extreme cases, cross the line and engage in actual incest.
