The incongruous device of the boar’s leap into and drowning in the lake, followed by Ameta’s discovery of a coconut hooked to its tusk, as well as the unexplained mystery of the voice that spoke to Ameta in his dream, letting him know what he was to do, suggest very strongly that some earlier form of the myth has been adjusted to a secondary reading, in which a sacrificed pig, and not a supernatural snake, should preponderate, very much as in the mythology of Persephone and Demeter.
El incongruente recurso del salto y hundimiento del cerdo en el lago, seguido por el descubrimiento de Ameta de un coco enganchado a su colmillo, así como el inexplicado misterio de la voz que habló a Ameta en su sueño, diciéndole lo que debía hacer, sugiere intensamente que alguna forma anterior del mito se ha ajustado a una lectura secundaria, en la cual debía preponderar un cerdo sacrificado y no una serpiente sobrenatural, al igual que en la mitología de Perséfone y Deméter.
