Flood Myth

This myth uses floods as a comparison to chaos and one of the biggest theme that chaos is usually linked too is drama. The only thing different about the floods in this myth is that every time a flood was caused good things to come into Torrence. This myth also involves the god of storm and how even in today's world, a storm or lightning always resembles anger, sadness, or downfall. A god names Enlil joined the rest of the other gods as they all gathered too sacrifice. The difference with Enlil was he brought a flood and brought in destruction too all these other gods. Eventually Enlil approaches two people, a man and his wife, ends up blessing them, and tells them that they are going too live in the river mouths. In the Mesopotamian mentality, floods were known too be bad and they were brought as punishments but the reason Noah was saved was too bring back mankind and become reborn and increase in number. Until today floods, tornadoes, thunder, etc all make up signs of darkness, sadness, and sometimes anger. Mankind being born also relates too the floods because it basically did the opposite of destructing, instead in reconstructed mankind. This myth involves both a good side and a bad side of beliefs especially in Mesopotamia. Although the floods caused destruction and chaos, Noah was still able too not be destructed and instead he is able too be safe in order too rebirth humankind and mankind in general. There aren't as many themes in this myth as much as the other myths but the fact that both good and bad are involved in one meme makes it different.
