Reading I See Satan, I felt equally skeptical about the discussion of the skandalon. But later, reading Things Hidden, I found Girard's fuller discussion of the same thing, which included Oedipus' club-foot, and the "anthropomorphic god" Tikarau, who walks with a limp. Still, I'm not sure whether limping used to be feared or connected with superstitions, of if the word skandalon simply developed a meaning nearer the one we use today. For help with this, you might look in Things Hidden, the section titled "Physical Signs of the Surrogate Victim", beginning p. 120.
