Marthe Robert argued that the last chapter of this work is framed as the author's "family novel," as it apparently is the author's attempt to rewrite his own family origins.

This work's third chapter "the historical truth" makes the claim that for all primitive peoples, there is always one person who "appears gigantic and ... restores the memory of the people." In another section, it is advanced that the teachings of the title figure was advanced by a so-called "God of the Volcano" before he was murdered in the desert and replaced by a Midianite. This work argues that the title figure was a pauperized form of Oedipus and  this work itself grew out of the author's admiration for the namesake figure and a reading of Otto Rank's The Myth of the Birth of the Hero. For 10 points, name this work of Sigmund Freud that argues the titular figure was a relative of Akhenaten.
