"The Hero with a Thousand Faces" [.]

[fiefoe]

Creation myth can be truly weird. Like the Nordic one:
    It was not gods but giants that were wrought from the dripping ice of Ginnugagap. Ymir arose from the haze, copiously evil. He stretched his form across Ginnugagap, and from the sweat of his armpits he bore a son and a daughter. Then one of Ymir’s legs bred with the other to create another son.

There are many examples from Maui myth as well, too bad the only one I remember now is one hero chasing down the sun to give his mom more time to cook.
