Editing Rahab (section)

==In fiction==
* Rahab is depicted as a virtuous soul (in The Third Circle of Heaven) in [[Dante Alighieri|Dante]]'s ''[[Divine Comedy]]'' (Paradiso 9.112 ff.)
*Rahab is a figure in the mythos of [[William Blake]]. She is pictured as a harlot, akin to the [[whore of Babylon]], and figures alongside Blake's character of [[To Tirzah|Tirzah]], as representing materialism, false religion, and fallen sexuality. Rahab's embrace of Urizen, who loosely represents fallen reason, is seen as the consolidation of error necessary to bring about the Final Judgment.
* The claim of Hugh Broughton, a controversial historian, that Rahab was already "a harlot at ten years of age" is used by Humbert Humbert to explain or perhaps justify his attraction to young girls in Nabokov's ''[[Lolita]]''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Nabakov |first=Vladimir |url=http://archive.org/details/lolita-penguin-modern-classics-by-vladimir-nabokov |title=Lolita (Penguin Modern Classics) |pages=12}}</ref>
