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

Women aren't as important as men are in the myths. The man and woman don't have equal rights and some of the reason for that might be that the man was created first, therefor is better, per say. If a man and a women did something equally wrong the women would get a greater punishment because of her gender. This says that the society that created these myths probably had a similar society to the myths they created.
