Myths of Creation assignment

  • In addition to the Greek myth of creation which we read in class, please read three additional myths, choosing from the selection below.
  • Create a table comparing the mythological elements of the four myths. I have included a link clarifying the elements common to many myths of creation - you may use it as a reference to create your table.
  • You will enter this table into your mythology notebook. You may want to keep the table on a separate sheet for now, until you decide how you want to put together your notebook. Inn any case, this assignment will be in the Quickwrites section of your notebook, so follow the guidelines for Quickwrites in the rubric (that is, the table must include the date of the assignment and be at least 3/4 of a page long). Make sure to title your work as well.

Choose three of these myths:
Powatomi

Wichita

Odin and Ymir

 Kono Africa

Ancient China

And just for the sake of redundance, here is the Greek myth of creation once again:
Greece
