An ancient Oriental form of riddle was based on parallelisms, which are comparisons, either of similarity or of contrast. An example of such a riddle was accidentally discovered in the Bible. An explanation of how to solve this sort of riddle is provided at http://greatriddle.flifree.com/solving-riddle.htm The riddle which was discovered is on the homepage of that site.
