So everything seemed somewhat normal as I started reading this short myth. Then I came to the passage about the buckskins, corn, and feathers turning into people....ummmm...what??? Where the heck did that whole process come from? It sounded like such a complex process. Was there any significance to them facing east and west...and the fact that it was corn? What about the colors of yellow and white? That totally lost me.
As I continue reading, there continues to be an obsession with corn. At first I thought that was super werid, but then I realized that its probably because corn was so important to the native americans. The rest of it was intriguing, but a little bit crack-headish sounding with the water monster and its babies, etc..
I like the Greek myths much better! Here are the greek gods with roman names:
Cronus (Saturn)
Rhea (Cybele)
Zeus (Jupiter, Jove)
Poseidon (Neptune)
Hades (Pluto)
Hera (Juno)
Demeter (Ceres)
Artemis (Diana)
Athena (Minerva)
Aphrodite (Venus)
Persephone (Proserpine)
Ares (Mars)
Hephaestus (Vulcan)
Hermes (Mercury)
Hestia (Vesta)
