- 2012 December 30, Udo Pollmer, “Schwein gehabt – das Glücksschwein”, in Deutschlandfunk Kultur[1]:
- Unser Schwein hat eine ebenso lange wie ruhmvolle Geschichte. Vielen Göttern gereichte das Borstenvieh zur Ehre: Die Babylonier opferten dem Schweinegott Tammuz, in Indien steht bis heute der hinduistische Gott Vishnu hoch im Kurs. Eine seiner Verkörperungen ist ein Keiler. Auch die Ägypter und die Hellenen huldigten der Wutz.
- Our pig has a long and glorious history. The bristle-cattle served many gods to honour: The Babylonians sacrified the swine-good Tammuz, in India the Hindu god Vishnu is still highly rated. One of his embodiments is the male wild boar. The Egyptians and Hellenes, too, paid homage to the swine.
