The Greek and Genesis Creation stories are both similar and different in how they use literary archetypes. The Creation stories share similar archetypes and in the same ways throughout the stories. The “hero/villain” archetype is one that they share. The “hero” was shown through Zeus in the Greek story. Zeus was shown as the hero from the beginning as in text it said “prophesied that he would be overthrown by a son” Cronus (Zeus's father) being overthrown by a son. This is also where the “villain” archetype is in play, Cronus. Cronus disliking the idea swallowed all of his children, except one. As for the Genesis story, in the very beginning God was the hero. “First this: God created the Heavens and Earth” He being the one to create the world thus makes him the hero. The story has several “villains” but the first villain to be shown was the serpent. In the text it was stated “The serpent was clever, cleverer than any wild animal God had made.” Making him clever shows him to be intelligent; being able for him to see more, because of this he was able to trick Eve into eating the fruit.
The Greek and Genesis stories also differ in the usage of the archetypes as in "epic battle" and for "Father and Son" archetypes. Both stories used an "epic Battle" but in different forms for instance the Genesis story. In that story The "epic battles" were more tamed mostly discussions that became arguments, God with Adam and Eve. Compared to the Greek it was manageable. As for the Greek story those were epic battles. The battles were "real" fights between people for example Cronus vs. Zeus. The relations with the "Father and Son" were also different. In the Genesis God is the creator of all living things making him Father of Adam and Eve. In Greek Cronus did father Zeus and his siblings, as for the difference of the two, own did father the other didn't. there is also where how the relation of the two was carried out. In conclusion, both stories are very similar but at the same time both are different in the way of using these archetypes.
