In mythological stories the adam's apple came from a piece of the forbidden apple which got stuck in Adam's throat. Bellak interprets this myth in two ways: 1. The idea that Eve was impregnated by the forbidden sexual intercourse was displaced onto Adam. 2. The adam's apple is a penis symbol. Adam, having committed a sin with his penis, is punished by getting another prominence on his body.
