Deva_Bevans - Creation essay lyrics

The Genesis and Greek creation stories are both similar and different in how they use literary archetypes. One archetype both stories share is villain. Both the Greek and Genesis creation stories utilize a villain archetype. “To avoid this Cronus swallowed each other of his children as they were born.”(Greek Myth)This proves that Cronus is filling the role of the villain archetype. His power is so great that he sacrifices his own children to keep the throne. “The serpent was clear, cleverer than any wild animal god had made. He spoke to the woman: “Do I understand that god you not to eat from any tree in the garden.”(The Genesis)That quote show that it's a villain because the wild animal was trying to make Eve do something wrong. And Eve thought she would be like god. The examples shows villain archetype. The Greek and Genesis creation stories also contrast, with the former having an epic battle or father/son and the latter a garden archetype. “This gives Zeus time to slip Cronus the drink.”(Greek Myth) Zeus is playing the role of father/son rivalry. Zeus special prepared drink made Cronus vomit. “God named sky Heavens.”(Greek Myth)Heavens is the garden archetype. Nothing bad can happen in the garden of Heaven. The Greek story shows father/son Rivalry and Genesis story shows the garden archetype.
