At the time, the source(s) that came up with this part of the foundational myth was a small hillholding culture. Cities and sprawl, the requisite increase in worked land to support them, were eroding their way of life. Their daughters were going down the hill to mix with the foreigners and do shameful things. Hence the notion that the cities were both the source and the product of some original sin peculiar to them and the agriculturalists which becomes a consistent theme throughout the entirety of the ot, culminating in the apocalyptic prophets of the diaspora. People who were...very breifly...saying "See, I told you what would happen!"
