N2 - Abstract: This article has a twofold purpose: to investigate thesymbolic richness and abundant sweetness of honey and toemploy ‘honey treatment’ as a strategy for reading the honeycombapocalypsecomprised in the Jewish legend of Joseph and Aseneth.This text tells of Aseneth’s encounter with a heavenly figure, apotent Joseph lookalike, who reveals to her inexpressible secretsmediated in an exuberant honeycomb. The revelatory capacity ofhoney is stylistically rendered by means of repetition, pleonasm,chorus, reprises and gestures. The encounter with “Das ganz Andere”does not leave Aseneth entirely perturbed and paralysed. Infact, her free speech and wits remain as if protected by a honeysweetenedagency. The article emphasizes the necessity of a ‘conversion’by the reader enabling him to grasp the sublime potentialof the aesthetics of sweetness.
