  • Essay / Myths and Legends of the World - 1056

    There are many myths and legends in the world and some are more common than others. Different people believe in different myths and legends. These are different myths and legends that correspond to different religions and countries. Myths can be a long or short story, some myths may be more interesting than others. Adam and Eve are one of the common myths. Jewish, Christian and Islamic clerics believe that Adam and Eve were the first parents of all humanity. Race. Adam and Eve were in Genesis, the first book of the Bible, it contains two accounts of how Adam and Eve were born. The first version dates between 600 and 400 BC, it says that God created all living beings, including man and woman "in his own image". In the second version, older by several countries, God (Yahweh) made Adam from dust and breathed “the breath of life” into his nostrils. God created animals so that Adam would not be alone. But God saw that Adam needed a human partner, so he put Adam to sleep and took one of his ribs and created Eve. Adam and Eve had a garden called Eden, Eden had four rivers that flowed out of the garden and into the world, but the Garden of Eden is a different myth. God created a tree, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the tree had fruit that was forbidden. God said not to eat the forbidden fruit, but the serpent on the tree persuaded Eve to eat the forbidden fruit and Adam also tasted the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve immediately lost their innocence, they were ashamed of their nakedness and covered themselves with leaves. When God saw that they had not listened to him, he chased Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. The following myth is not so popular. The myth is Lug, Lug was a god from the middle of paper...and landing in California, Pecos Bill landed so hard he reached Death Valley. One day, years into his career, Pecos Bill was walking down the street in Laredo, Texas. Pecos Bill saw a man from Boston wearing a fancy cowboy costume and asking stupid questions about the West. Pecos Bill took one look at the man, lay down on the sidewalk, and laughed until he died. Another story says he died after eating a meal of barbed wire laced with “nitroglycerin.” It doesn't get any crazier that in both stories, Pecos Bill dies. Adam and Eve and El Dorado are one of the most popular and common myths and legends, but The Lug, Pecos Bill is one of the least popular myths and legends. I chose these myths and legends because I thought it might be interesting to learn about myths and legends that I didn't know about. What I found interesting was how many people believed in myths and legends..
