Compare Myth

Compare Myth

We study the similar myths of various societies by comparing them to one another. We can compare these myths on the basis of their generic, genetic, or historical relationships.

Generic relationships among myths are based on the way people react to common features in their environment. For example, the Maori of New Zealand and the ancient Greeks both had myths that described how the earth became separated from the sky.

Genetic relationships. A large society may develop a particular myth. Then, for some reason, the society breaks up into several separate societies, each of which develops its own version of the myth. These myths have a genetic relationship.

Myths about the Greek god Zeus and the ancient Indian god Indra have a genetic relationship. The two gods resemble each other in many ways. For example, each is a sky god, and each uses a lightning bolt as his chief weapon. These similarities can be explained by the fact that the ancient Greeks and the people of ancient India descended from a common culture, the Indo-European community. The Indo-Europeans lived several thousand years ago in the area north of the Black Sea, in southeastern Europe. This culture worshiped a warrior god
