USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -A creation myth acts as a cornerstone for distinguishing primary reality from relative reality, the origin and nature of being from non-being. In this sense cosmogonic myths serve as a philosophy of life – but one expressed and conveyed through symbol rather than through systematic reason.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the beginning there was a period of Chaos, when air, water, and matter were combined in a formless mixture. On this floated a Cosmic Egg, from which arose Gaea (Earth) and Uranus (Sky). These deities created the earth and its creatures and the Sun, Moon, and Stars. Thus the Greeks accounted for creation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The subjects of myths reflect the universal concerns of mankind throughout history: birth, death, the afterlife, the origin of man and the world, good and evil and the nature of man himself. A myth taps into a universal cultural narrative, the collective wisdom of man.

Detailed explanation-4: -A Japanese creation myth states that two gods mated to create Japan. Australian Aborigines saw the Sun Mother as creating everything on earth. The concept of parents creating the earth can be seen in other versions of creation myths. For example, Greek Chaos gives birth to the universe.
