The Genesis Creation Story is from a Hebrew creation myth (Judaism/Christianity). The first story goes like this, Elohim “god” creates a heaven and an earth is 6 days. The second story is Yahwen “god” creates Adam from dust and puts him in the Garden of Eden, where he watches out for the animals. Then Adam creates Eve.
Women as the source of all evil and unhappiness is also seen in the Genesis book of the bible. The story of Adam and Eve being banished from the Garden of Eden because Eve ate the forbidden fruit, closely resembles the story of Pandora. When Pandora is gifted to men she unleased upon them “ills and hard toil and heavy sickness”, paralleling Eve being the reason they are forced to leave the Garden paradise.
There are many creation myths and not all are the same but many share some similarities, they are called motifs, but how many myths share three well known motifs? It is a very amazing thing that all of these different people shared some of the same ideas on how their people were started and some of them were oceans apart. It is a curious thing and also cool seeing how all of them thought the same thing. The three motifs that I am going to go over are the motif of people being made out of organic materials, the earth being made from objects, like body parts or objects, and the motif of there being a great flood that almost wiped out all humans on Earth.
Marco Rubio, a respected politician and the Senator of Florida once said, “The American Dream is a term which is often used but also often misunderstood. It isn’t really about becoming rich or famous. It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.” Of Mice and Men revolves around the Great Depression and migrating farmers who are in the search of a better life. Through the use of figurative language, a wide lexical range and varying sentence length, Steinbeck portrays the bunk house as being an allegorical prison and the residents being prisoners because of the harsh realities of the Great Depression and the dying American Dream.
Like snowflakes, no single creation myth is identical to another, “The Story of the Creation”, which highlights on the creation of the Akimel O’odham, more commonly known as the Pima, and Megan Wren’s “Mayan Creation Myth” are no exception; however, there are many similarities. Most creation myths, such as the “Mayan Creation Myth” and “The Story of Creation” follow the basic path that the majority of creation myths do, starting with the emptiness in the beginning, a void to be filled by a God-like figure, who would soon create vegetation, animals, and humans who he would then destroy and start anew: however, some do not, such as the “Creation of the World” and “How the World Was Made.” With most creation myths, there is a void, or an emptiness

There are hundreds of motifs scattered throughout the world about many vastly different creation myths. There are some myths linked with only a few motifs, and they originated from the same continent. Then there are also myths which originated from the other side of the world and share so many motifs one would think they were just a hundred miles away. With so many different motifs, it remains unclear and unproven as to how so many different cultures can share the same theory about how Earth and humans were created. Although there are so many fascinating motifs about the creation of the world and everything on it, I believe these three are the most common motifs shared by creation myths: nothingness (chaos) in the beginning of time, humans
From light everything else was created to help shape the world and divide between dark and light as well as good and evil.

Two Authors, Two Books, Two Religions Nowadays, Greek and Roman mythology are considered fiction, but once upon a time they were known as very serious religions. Despite the similarities between the two, such as their gods, origins, and beliefs, they were known as enemies. They often fought over these similarities to argue which side was better. Not only was their conflict because of the resemblance to one another, they also clashed over differences such as their heroes and the characteristics of their gods.

Many different cultures have myths and stories about how they think the world was created. These myths commonly reflect different values that these cultures have. Although these myths are different stories from different cultures, they often have traits in common.
