Mythology

= The Week of September 12, 2011 =

This week we are examining creation stories in an effort to find similarities among the Greek, Egyptian, Sumerian, Hebrew, and Indian belief systems. Most recently we have looked in detail at the [|Greek cosmogony] and pantheon in order to have a jumping-off place from which to explore and compare various cultures.

Our text this week includes passages from the //Theogony//, the //Enuma Elish//, the //Rig Veda//, and the book of //Genesis//.
