Motifs In Creation Myths

In every creation myth there are motifs. Motifs are things that are repeated from one creation to another generally speaking it's something happening in one myth also happening in many other myths. All motifs are all equally important to their myths but there are three that stand out to me as important that I am prepared to tell you about. Those three are destruction, multiple attempts, and organic material. When I say destruction that means of course something being destroyed but the reason for the destructions are the same. Also the multiple attempts are geared toward people meaning multiple attempts at people. Then the organic material is also geared toward people because in many places and creation myths they were made from organic materials.

The Maori had destruction as well not the same way and same reason. One of the gods were angry at a outcome of something so he sent hurricanes, tornados, cyclones, tsunamis, and storms to destroy and let out his anger. Another creation is of the Jews and christians there's wasn’t was destructive as the Maori. In the genesis creation there was only a flood because the god was displeased again with the actions of his creations and people so he had them all but a few destroyed. The myth of Yoruba also had a flood this flood was to warn and scare people since they were taking the sea and water for granted. The Greek had lots of destruction in their myths they had many races of men and some came to an end in a destructive manner. One race was destructive themselves and killed themselves off and another just died away. The Navajo myth had many different worlds and some came to an end in fighting or in a flood and winds. Then there is also the Aztec. The Aztecs had a race of man that was
