In its most developed form, this Legend is a continuation of the story of the quest of Seth for the oil of life found in all versions of the Life of Adam and Eve. However, an examination of earlier versions of the Legend as well as lesser-known oriental texts reveal that the Seth episode is not original to the Legend and that the core of the Legend is the idea that the wood of the cross had once been part of the Temple of Solomon. This idea derives from a desire to connect Jesus’ atoning sacrifice with the Temple.
