An Orgota Creation Myth
In chapter 17, "An Orgota Creation Myth", discusses how the world was created. This chapter in my opinion was very important because it gave us a sense in how the people of Winter think. Just like we have our own creation stories, theirs seems to be similar. Just how we were created by one person, so were they except in their case, they were "born." Each of those children were set out to be followed by darkness which resulted in their region of the Ice.

I really liked this myth. I kind of got the feeling like it was a biblical reference to when "god created the heavens and the earth and it was good". Honestly, this was the first myth that i understood on the first read. The other myths took me a couple of reads to grasp.
ReplyDeleteThis myth actually took me about three reads to somewhat understand but once I did, I really enjoyed the tale it told. It draws a connection between our world and theirs and how we all have our own version of how we came to be.
