HUM10159A0 World Mythology Creation and Natural Disaster Narrative Part 1 Instructions Following creation, most cultural mythologies have a flood or natural disaster myth (think earthquake, volcano, draught, famine). A flood myth or deluge myth is a narrative in which a great flood, usually sent by a deity or deities, destroys civilization, often in an act of divine retribution. Parallels are often drawn between the flood waters of these myths and the primeval waters found in certain creation myths, as the flood waters are described as a measure for the cleansing of humanity, in preparation for rebirth. Most flood myths also contain a culture hero, who represents the human craving for life. However, not all natural disasters are floods; this is just the most common motif. And yours certainly doesn’t have to be. Think about volcanos, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis. Using the gods you created for the pantheon, you will use one of the six forms of creation to create a new world and humanity. From creation, humanity has sinned greatly, and now must suffer the gods’ displeasure in the form of a natural disaster. You are telling me a story of how your world and humanities is created, and then what kind of behavior led to the gods inflicting a natural disaster on humanity. This is a fictional story, NOT a rehashing of the myths that we are reading. Things to consider (help direct your myth) in your mythologies: • What brought about the natural disaster? Was it because humanity was not worshipping the gods? Did they, like Adam and Eve, do something they should not have done? • • • • • • What kind of temptation presented itself? (Think of Adam and Eve being tempted by the apple in the Garden of Eden.) Will it be “real,” or outrageous? What kind of lesson is learned by the mortals? Was it just mankind that was destroyed, or did animals die too? Were there survivors? If so, how did they survive? Did mankind appease the gods? If so, how? The myths should meet the following requirements: • • • • • • You use at least 2 of your deities: one for creation, and one to cause the natural disaster. Minimum of 4-6 pages typed, double-spaced, Clean of grammatical and spelling errors, Contains a variety of sentence structures: simple, compound, complex, Is original and creative, not a regurgitation of the myths we have studied in class, and Is organized and does not jump around.

Part 3 Afterlife Mythology Theologians and scholars from all disciplines have presented many possible views on afterlife beliefs and their meaning, and perhaps one of the most interesting is the view of psychoanalysis. In particular, Carl Jung sought to apply scientific observation and methods to religious experiences, psychical phenomena such as the appearance of ghosts and the work of mediums, and the “irrational” workings of the mind. While Jung’s theories are controversial to many, they may represent one of the only true attempts in early psychoanalysis to wed scientific views of the mind with experiences that did not easily lend themselves to reasonable testing and measurement. For Jung, the idea of the underworld was a metaphorical representation of the collective unconscious, the depths that each individual must travel through in order to become a whole, or individuated, person. The whole person, according to Jung, does not shun so-called “evil,” often associated with things “of the Earth” like sexuality, but finds a way to safely and meaningfully integrate these into his life. What does Leeming say about the importance of death and resurrection in hero stories? Why do most mythologies have rivers to pass into the afterlife? How does the belief in the `afterlife’ according to various mythological views affect what humanity thinks about such concepts as `sin’, `guilt’, `responsibility’, crime and punishment, and the purpose of human conduct?
