Wow, thrilling conclusion to the Japanese Creation! Never heard this one before! It was Orpheus and Eurydice in the Greek myth, who also had the man lead the woman out of the Underworld, but "turned around" and doomed her. | |

Matt from Springfield:
Oops, thought I had changed my Hearty White moniker too! :) "The story of Eurydice has strong parallels to the Japanese myth of Izanami, as well as to the Mayan myth of Itzamna and Ixchel, the Indian myth of Savitri and Satyavan, the Akkadian/Sumerian myth of Inanna's descent to the underworld, and the Biblical story of Lot and his wife." Wonder what that says about humanity, what we think about ourselves! | |

@Cruciferous: Yes, particularly the Flood Legend, of Gilgamesh and others, possibly influenced by it. At the end of the Ice Age, right before Western civilization started, melting glaciers flooded areas, the Bering Strait, Black Sea, etc. Many ancient settlements have been found under the Black Sea that flooded--the tales might have originated from people who experienced it! | |

Native Americans saw the oceans disappear. Some wanted to go see where it went. The elders said they needed to build canoes. | |
