Choose ONE of the below questions and answer in a complete paragraph (point, evidence, explain)
1. Why is water so prevalent in these creation myths? What does it say about the societies that created them? What natural elements may have influenced this?
2. Why are women depicted the way they are in these myths? Again, what does this say about the society that created these myths?
3. How do these societies depict their gods? How do their depictions differ from modern western society's? What has changed in between then and now to influence this change?
Woman didn't have many rights in the time myth were created. If something bad happend it always was o womens fault. Hera is Zeus jealous and bad wife but it's him who goes out with other woman. In the myth women are always kind of evil.I think men, who wrote or told the myth, wanted to show that even in the God's world males are dominant.

Water was prevalent in the creation myths because all three were surrounded by bodies of water, making water a huge part of their lives. Water was probably close to worshiped in the myths because the humans wouldn't have been able to survive without it. Water also could have been a source of danger.
