The Epic of Gilgamesh
The Hebrew Bible: Genesis
Metamorphosis
Satapatha Brahmana
The Epic of Gilgamesh deprived from ancient Mesopotamian times, infused with Babylonian culture.
The Hebrew Bible is now referred to as the “Old Testament”, which is the text the Jewish faith now follow.
The Metamorphosis myth was spawned from the Romans.
The Satapatha Brahmana tale is from the sacred text of the Hindu people.
Prior to the point of the flood story, the story was written in the third person omniscient perspective. Since Utanapishtim told the story of the flood, he became a first person narrator.
Since it is believed that the Hebrew Bible was scripted by those who had the voice of God speaking to them, a majority of the book is written in third person omniscient.
Although the Roman myth was mostly written in the third person, it often switched to the second person tense by use of the word “we”.
The Hindu flood story was written in the third person as well, but because of certain gaps in the myth, I believe the narrator was limited in his or her storytelling.
There was no clear to reason as to why the Babylonian god Enlil choose to destroy all of mankind. Some argue that it was done spitefully, to anger the human race’s creator(s), Ea (and, in some stories, Belet-ili). Others say it was to punish the evil doings of mankind.
The destroyer in this monotheistic tale is no other than God Himself. Ashamed of His creations, God attempted to drown the world and its beings into nothing in order to punish mankind’s vicious and evil ways.
Although it was Juno who had the initial idea to destroy the world, his power was not great enough to do so alone if he were to use water. He wanted to use his thunder bolts, but feared the prophecy that both the world and the Heavens would burn by great flames. He employed the help of his brother Neptune and other river gods. He gave no reason to his fellow gods for the world’s destruction; they followed him blindly.
