2. Why are women depicted the way they are in these myths? Again, what does this say about the society that created these myths?

Women in the Greek and Egyptian myth are depicted very differently. In the Greek myth the women were created as a way to punish men and are portrayed as evil and scheming. Strangely there were women gods at the beginning of the Greek creation myth. Women are even in the time of the titans there Chronos had a wife. So women show up throughout the mythology but are usually considered by the men to be evil and scheming. The Egyptian mythology doesn't mention women as much or in as evil a way as Greek mythology does. From out side reading the women were thought a close to equal to men and that they weren't put on earth to punish men as in thew Greek myth. Either way each culture has its own view of women depending on how patriarchal or matriarchal a culture is.
