Since our ancestors tended to congregate near clean water sources such as rivers, it's safe to say most of them. And if you are referring specifically to Ancient European, Asian and Afircan cultures, all of them. The story of Noah predates the story of Abraham, and is presumed Babylonian in origin. The Greek, and by proxy the Romans also had a flood myth, as did the Egyptians. AS I recall, the Chinese also have one.

A myth story refers to a traditional story that is accepted as history and serves to explain the world view of a people. For instance, there are some African creation stories that believe that the first man came out of a mountain.

The same way you wright any story. Characters, a plot etc. Mythology is just the study of myths or ancient stories. This what the name literally translates to. Most myths are based on natural phenomenon or the origin of cultures or events in those cultures. Writing a myth is not particularly easy. But it can be done.
The Norse flood myth, known as the Ragnarok, holds significance in comparison to other global flood myths as it symbolizes the cyclical nature of destruction and rebirth in Norse mythology. While many flood myths across different cultures share themes of cleansing and renewal, the Ragnarok specifically emphasizes the idea of inevitable destruction followed by a new beginning. This myth highlights the Norse belief in the cyclical nature of life and the importance of embracing change and transformation.
Not at all alike. Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory that explains much about evolution is well supported by the evidence and has been repeatedly tested. It also has made many testable predictions. Flood myth? Whose flood myth? These myths are legion and many cultures have one. Not one of the myths has ever been supported by the evidence though.
No. The Greeks did not have a Flood myth, like those in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible. The main religious texts of the Greeks were the ancient Homeric epics, which do not contain reference to a Flood or an ark.
One comet myth is the belief that comets were seen as omens of great events, such as wars or natural disasters, in various ancient cultures.
The Ancient Greeks created the religion in which Demeter was worshiped, the smaller stories of that religion (much like there are bible stories today) are what form now as "myths".
The great Flood in the Book of Genesis is considered to be a creation myth. It tells of the anger of the creator God with his imperfect creation, and finishes the task of explaining why we are here.
A poet might reference an ancient myth in her poem to add depth, richness, and layers of meaning to her work. By drawing on timeless stories that carry cultural significance, the poet can create connections with her audience, evoke emotions, and explore complex themes in a new light. Additionally, referencing ancient myths allows the poet to tap into universal truths and archetypes that resonate across time and cultures.
