Brian Romero - Creation Essay lyrics

The Genesis and Greek creation stories are both similar and different in how they use Literacy archetypes. Both the Greek and Genesis creation stories utilize the villain archetype. “Cronus swallowed each of his children as they were born”. This proves that Cronus is filling the role of the villain archetype. His lust for power is so great that he selfishly sacrifices his own children to keep the throne. The serpent was clever, cleverer than any wild animal God had made. He spoke to the woman, “Do I understand that God told you not to eat from any tree in the garden”. The serpent is so jealous of Gods power and is really clever. The serpent is really jealous that he convinces the women to disobey God and eats from the tree of knowledge. These examples show both stories using the villain archetype. The Greek and Genesis creation stories also contrast, with the former having an epic battle or father/son and the latter a garden archetype. “She prepared a drink for Cronus design to make him vomit up the other children. Rhea convinced Cronus to accept his son and Zeus was allowed to return to Mount Olympus as Cronus's cup bearer”. Cronus didn't want to be over thrown so he ate his kids except Zeus because Rhea took him away. Zeus planned to take down his father (Cronus) with a drink that would make him throw up his brothers. “God made all kinds of trees grow from the ground, trees beautiful to look at and good to eat”. This line symbolizes how beautiful the trees are like nothing ever seen before. God talks about how good the fruit is from the tree basically no ordinary tree we get from the store. The Greek story was mainly showing you father/son rivalry which the Genesis story didn't have but as well the Genesis had the garden archetype and the Greek story didn't, both stories are using archetypes just different ones.
