520 |a Several recent interpretations of Watchers have read the texts depictions of the ante-diluvian past as an attempt to project onto the ancient world the authors contemporary experiences of violence, often emphasizing resistance to empire. While it is possible to read the violence of the giants as a critique of empire, this essay argues that the third-century debates about the origins of civilization provide an excellent context to explain the authors concern with ante-diluvian history. Instead of arguing that Judaism should be understood as the origin civilization, the author seeks to undercut claims to ancient origins being made by neighbouring civilizations by arguing that being associated with those origins is undesirable. Watchers accomplishes this by associating those origins with the fallen watchers, and the violence of their gigantic offspring.
