Myths are usually a completely patrilineal society, and women are depicted as jealous, obsessive, and curious. For example, Hera is extremely possessive over Zeus, and destroys all other women she knows he had affairs with. In the "Golden Age," there were no women, only men, creating the idea that men are better than women, and women ruined society rather than contributed to it. Myths usually make women seem less valuable than men, and they usually punish and cause death to many people.
