on
one of the topics
below:
1.
From our readings we saw that some divine myths attempt to explain
where everything comes from--based on what people in that culture and
time knew. Compare and contrast a popular (according to a search on
Google) account of the modern scientific theory of the "creation" of
the universe (click
here) with Norse creation myth (use pdf version in ANGEL for the
Norse myth),
2. Several of the creation myths we have covered so far deal with
generational conflicts (e.g. Norse, Greek, Babylonian/Hittite). For two
of these, compare the reasons for and results of the conflict. What
conclusions can you draw? Use only our texts as sources.
