I need to make my own creation myth and I was wondering what you guys think I should add to what I have:

There once was a young god, new to the universe and immature. He was tired of seeing supernovas and black holes, so he approached Earth and created things that would fight to survive. Something to entertain him. As he grew older though, he grew much wiser and wanted to see things that grew and evolved. But since Earth was one of the more better planets to start off from, he had to do something to get rid of the playthings he created when he was young...


I need to make this into at least 4 paragraphs so I want to add more details.

I need help answering some of these questions: What was the name of the god? What did he first create? What were their benefits? Why? What about air, wind, fire, water, etc... Why did he create those? What were their benefits? What about plants, trees, insects..? What did he add later on?

Just want your ideas and what you think would make this story better! Be creative! This is the creation myth of how earth was created.

Respuesta :

For a name, you could look up the words "immature" or "young" in google translate in either Greek or Latin or another language where there is prominent mythology.

Name of the god? I would use something from my language Khmer and name him maybe something like Kosal  which means clever, magical, merit (this ione is gained in return from what one has given). It seems very fitting for something that has given life and created things. 

The first thing he created would be stars or if you;re talking about what he first created on earth, then the ocean. Or if you mean the first living things he created, it would be the bees I suppose. They carry pollen from flower to flower and all of those things you know? They produce good honey for eating.

Air is needed for the beings and animals and nearly everything on planet earth. Wind is for a nice breeze to cool down, to help dry the Earth and to carry seeds. Fire was for warmth and light at night. Water was originally for bathing and drinking. 

The plants, trees, and insects he added as food for many of the other things he already created. Since his original purpose was for a playthings maybe he just did it so it could be destroyed later? He maybe didn't think through the possibilities of it being able to sustain and help each other.

Things he added on later would be the ocean life after he was done with the land things.
