-Golding, Sir William (Gerald)
  Free Fall, ch.2.

No, the serpent did not Seduce Eve to the apple. All that's simply Corruption of the facts. Adam ate the apple. Eve ate Adam. The serpent ate Eve. This is the dark intestine. The serpent, meanwhile, Sleeps his meal off in Paradiseö Smiling to hear God's querulous calling.
