Rodin's Adeline: The Goddess Of Youth
In the beginning, during 400 B.C., in New Orleans, Louisiana, there was a woman, the Goddess of Youth that had existed. Her name was Adeline. She was her own kind of beautiful and made life and the world in her own image. She had piercing bright blue eyes with long black wavy hair. She was very tall and had a very thin body structure. The way her personality was wired was how she based the way she created life. The Goddess was self-less and bold. She was independent and strong willed. With that, she had created all: plants, mountains, rivers, and all beings. With creating all life, she had fallen in love with every one of them and blessed them with immortality, so they could live life alongside her. She also granted them free will, the power …show more content…
He had been blessed with large amounts of beauty. He was a tall tan man with light hazel eyes and dark brown hair. He was born in poverty and unlike the others, he wasn’t satisfied with life. Rodin was very smart and driven, but had one major flaw. He had a greedy heart that had overpowered everything else. Even with his enormous amount of wealth, he still wanted more, he feigned for more power. He wanted to be dominant. Rodin wanted to rule the world with everyone bowing at his feet. He loved the fact that he was immortal. No one could ever rid of him. The Goddess had seen the horrific events he was putting together and felt sadness. As a child, he saw many other boys living so lavishly, and envied them. He wanted to live his own life the way they did. So, he dedicated his life to making himself to the man he was today. Through that process he had become cruel and power hungry. Rodin had created an empire and had hundreds of people living under his rule. It got to the point where women wanted to be with him, men feared him, or wanted to be him. He had then stirred the fear within the people and since death could not take place, his greed grew larger and deeper into his …show more content…
She could create another being who holds just as much power as her. This being will become her equal, but possess a different kind of power from her own.. To do so, she had to face a major consequence. Adeline would have to surrender her power and her immortality to create another God. She made it so that this God will end wars and put a limit on everything. This new God she was creating, since she wanted to reverse what she had done would be the complete opposite of herself in her physical characteristics, but with similar morals. Instead of long black wavy hair, this God will have short golden blonde curly hair. Instead of piercing blue eyes, one will have dark brown eyes. This God will have the body of an hourglass instead of her skinny figure. Since changes were to be made, there will now be nights along with the days and time now exists. Seasons have been created to help humans adapt to different weather considering that their bodies are now vulnerable to anything. Humans now need sleep to survive and food to fuel their energy. Immortality will be forever taken away, humans will think for themselves, humanity will age, and eventually be able to

    The way in which the Garden of Adonis replenishes life on Earth also demonstrates The Faerie Queen’s prioritization of earthly virtue. Although the Garden is largely a haven for Venus and her lover Adonis, it nonetheless exists in tandem with Earth, as many of its functions restore and purify earthly life. When describing the Garden’s unique life cycle, the narrator claims that the Garden “is the first seminarie / Of all things, that are borne to live and die” (III.vi.30.4-5). Here, the narrator introduces the Garden’s strange life cycle, which conceives and creates all mortal creatures. That said, he soon clarifies that, although mortal creatures begin their lives in the Garden, they are nonetheless sent “forth to live in mortal…

    Gilgamesh tyrannically terrorizes the people of Uruk over which he rules. "when the people of Uruk complain about Gilgamesh's arrogance, the goddess aruru creates enkidu to contend with the king and absorb his energies." (heading for the battle with Humbaba). So, this guy oppresses his people into fearful prayer, yet through those prayers a savior comes to the occupants of Uruk. Enkidu ends up being friends with Gilgamesh and they purge the land of several evils. Eventually Enkidu dies and strikes fear into the heart of Gilgamesh. "how can I rest, how can I be at peace? Despair is in my heart. What my brother is now that shall I be when I am dead.

    “When Ah-ki' (the Earth) was young, it was said that the Earth had a family. Nee-ba-gee'-sis (the Moon) is called Grandmother, and Gee'-sis (the Sun) is called Grandfather. The Creator of this family is called Gi'-tchie Man-i-to'(Great Mystery or Creator). The Earth is said to be a woman. In this way it is understood that woman preceded man on the Earth. She is called Mother Earth because from her come all living things. Water is her life blood. It flows through her, nourishes her, and purifies her. On the surface of the Earth, all is given Four Sacred Directions--North, South, East, and West. Each of these directions contributes a vital part to the wholeness of the Earth. Each has physical powers as well as spiritual powers, as do all things. When she was young, the Earth was filled with beauty. The Creator sent his singers in the form of birds to the Earth to carry the seeds of life to all of the Four Directions. In this way life was spread across the Earth. On the Earth the Creator placed the swimming creatures of the water. He gave life to all the plant and insect world. He placed the crawling things and the four-leggeds on the land. All of these parts of life lived in harmony with each other. Gitchie Manito then took four parts of Mother Earth and blew into them using a Sacred Shell. From the union of the Four Sacred Elements and his breath, man was created. It is said the Gitchie Manito then lowered man to the Earth. Thus, man was the last form of life to be placed on Earth. From this Original Man came the A-nish-i-na'-be people. ”…

    By interpreting and analyzing creation myths, we provide ourselves with a window into the driving forces of that culture’s members, as well as a viewpoint on how individuals and society may have viewed their connection to their god(s). In these creation myths, the elements of how, when, and why men and women are created serve as the basis for revealing the specific relationship a culture holds with its God(s). They also provide insights into other relationships. (How to Define Creation Myths, Tiffany Rhoades, 2013)…

    In French Polynesia tribes of Maori have thrived even until this day, which is one of the reasons that I chose to tell of their particular creation myth. It is wonderful that these stories remain alive and well even into our modern era and are told to new generations of existing tribes. Their story of creation is the story of Rangi and Papa. Rangi, short for Ranginui, was the father of the sky, father of all things. Papa, short for Papatuanuku, his bride was the mother of the earth, mother of all things. From the beginning of time Rangi and Papa were in a constant loving embrace. In their embrace they procreated and became father and mother to many offspring both human and godlike. In the story there are five main sons of Rangi and Papa. It was these sons that became oppressed by the constant embrace of their parents, for it caused a lack of space between the earth and sky, and in that lack of space a lack of light. Having grown tired of being trapped between their parent’s bodies they convened and discussed what to do. Tu, god of war, proposed that…

    When the world is destroyed, it is born again through the sacrifice of one of the gods. The world began as a lonely, dark place. The god of duality, Ometecuhtli created itself and it was good and bad. Ometecuhtli had four children: Huitzilopochtli (south), Quetzalcoatl (east), Tezcatlipoca (west), and Xipe Totec (north). These gods created the world. First they made fire and half a sun. Then, they created humans during four days by sacrificing a god. Then, the gods created the lords of the underworld, the heavens and waters, the rain god (Tlaloc), and a sea monster named Cipactli . The creations of the gods would fall into the water and be eaten by Cipactli. This lead to a war where the four gods attacked and destroyed the sea monster. The universe was created from Cipactli: all 13 heavens were created in her head, the earth was created in the middle, and the underworld was created in her tail. Following the creation of the world, “The Legend of the Five Suns” states that five different worlds have existed with each one ending in destruction. The first sun was earth, the second sun was air, the third sun was fire, the fourth sun was water, and the fifth sun is the age we are currently in. The myth states that this era will end with…

    One similarity between the myths of the Navajos and Greeks is that they both believe that their gods or deities created earth, and believe in anthropomorphic deities. Among the stories of the Native American tribes and greek mythology, the “themes of water appear to play a big factor in the wiping out of evil” (Hamilton 84). The water is symbolizes the cleansing and action of purifying the world. In Navajo myths, many gods worked together along with a few mortal beings to create Earth. Meanwhile, in Greek mythology, it was mainly Zeus who created Earth with the aid of” his five brothers and sisters”(Hamilton 83). Nowhere in Greek mythology have humans helped the Gods create planet Earth. It was only the Gods and powerful creatures that created the world we live in now.…

    Considerable attention is given to a specific set of myths: those stories that deal with the creation of the world. Cosmogonic myths try to resolve the problem of man's search for meaning in existence“. Accounts of the beginning of the world are the quintessential form of myth” (Paden, 1994, p. 85). Different stories of creation are evidence of different worldviews. Hopi and Japanese creation myth deals with the origin of human kind. While they both narrate how the world and human being were created, they utilize different metaphors. The Japanese myth imagines chaos at the beginning. Earth and heavens came together to create harmony. Cosmos and order were brought where disorder and infinite operated. Void was filled and many divinities appeared. They were created in order to organize and “preside over the land, sea, mountains, river, trees and herbs” (Japanese Creation Myth). For Hopi, gods…

    From the dawn of the first civilization to the bustling nations of modern day, great gatherings of people have tried to interpret their surroundings and justify their experiences in a spiritual and mystical way. Their experiences drive them to figure out the origin of nature and time and space. These so called "creation myths" varied in complexity and origin but each held similar views that a "greater power" ultimately began humanity and its domain. People interpreted what they observed in their surroundings and applied their knowledge to create these notions on what happened. Even though creation myths appeared all around the world and at different times, many of these tales follow a basic series of events. Many similarities occur and overlap…
