ORIGIN MYTHS

All myths are distant pastures, but the myths of origin are subtypes of myths about human creation in the world or the world.

PRIMORDIAL = Period or mythical world (the world) - different from the past, usually different worlds (such as those living in them and animals talking to the gods)

Etiology: Common factors in explaining how things are formed

More common is a myth that shows the origin of certain foods, values, traditions, etc. (not creation of humans themselves).

But perhaps they are often asked about such stories, so many tribes have recorded the origin of the story and show the origin of the world (sometimes people)

The most common patterns: flood, "new" earth needed, water world, diving animals (looking for dirt), sea turtle, muddy world, dry season, new life style in new land

Theme: The old world is not satisfactory, the destruction of the old world, emergence (through sky hole), a series of worlds, we are often in the fourth world

The myth of each origin is the story of creation: myths of origin describe how some new reality is formed. In many cases, the myth of origin is also justified by the fact that it is established by the power of God to prove that the established order is reasonable (see the section "Social function" below ). The difference between the myth of the universe and the myth of origin is not clear. Myths about the origins of certain parts of the world inevitably show the existence of the world - for many cultures, the world assumes the myth of the universe. In this sense, the myth of origin can be seen as a cosmic myth that establishes and expands that culture. In fact, in traditional culture, memorization of primitive myth often begins with the recitation of the myths of the universe.

The original myth is a myth aimed at explaining the origin of certain features of the natural or social world. The myth of origin is the myth of the universe explaining the creation of the world. However, many cultures have a story behind the universe mythology that explains the natural phenomena of the existing universe and the origin of the human system. The myth of each origin is the story of creation: myths of origin describe how some new reality is formed. In many cases, the myth of origin is also justified by the fact that it is established by the power of God to prove that the established order is reasonable (see the section "Social function" below ). The difference between the myth of the universe and the myth of origin is not clear. Myths about the origins of certain parts of the world inevitably show the existence of the world - for many cultures, the world assumes the myth of the universe. In this sense, people can regard myths of origin as cosmic myths that establish and expand that culture.
