The article states, that in his treatment of Gen. 1:3-4 (the creation of light) Basil the Great had in mind particular passages of the Pseudo-Clementine Romans concerning the myth on the birth of Eros-Phanes, a god in several Orphic theogonies, also called Protogonos (the Firstborn), and the allegorical interpretation of the classical myth of the birth of Aphrodite.
