Fables and Folklore

A myth usually includes the dealing of Gods or some underlying nature or philosophy of the physical and spiritual world. A myth deals with great things, such as the formation of the world, the nature and destiny of the soul, why the stars travel in circles.

A legend deals with heroes (often the descendants of Gods but not usually supernatural to any excessive degree themselves). Usually the subject mater of legends are wars and other political and racial upheavals. Legends often have a basis in fact or history.

A tall tale lacks credibility, is usually seen as a 'great lie' attempting to copy myth and legend.

The story centers around two brothers; Anubis, the elder, who is married and looks after the younger Bata. The brothers work together, farming land and raising cattle. One day, Anubis' wife attempts to seduce Bata, but he rejects her advances. The wife then tells her husband that his brother attempted to seduce her. In response to this, Anubis attempts to kill Bata, who flees and prays to Re-Harakhti to save him. The god creates a crocodile-infested lake between the two brothers, across which Bata is finally able to appeal to his brother and share his side of the events. To emphasize his sincerity, Bata severs his genitalia and throws them into the water, where a catfish eats them.

Bata states that he is going to the Valley of the Cedar, where he will place his heart on the top of the blossom of a cedar tree, so that if it is cut down Anubis will be able to find it and allow Bata to become alive again. Bata tells Anubis that if he is ever given a jar of beer that froths, he should know to seek out his brother. After hearing of his brother's plan, Anubis returns home and kills his wife. Meanwhile, Bata is establishing a life in the Valley of the Cedar, building a new home for himself. Bata comes upon the Ennead, or the principal Egyptian deities, who take pity on him. Khnum, the god who is frequently depicted in Egyptian mythology as having fashioned humans on a potters' wheel, creates a wife for Bata. Because of her divine creation, Bata's wife is sought after by the pharaoh. When he succeeds in bringing her to live with him, she tells him to cut down the tree in which Bata has put his heart. They do so, and Bata dies.

Anubis then receives a frothy jar of beer, and sets off to the Valley of the Cedar. He searches for his brother's heart for more than three years, finding it at the beginning of the fourth year. He follows Bata's instructions and puts the heart in a bowl of cold water, and as predicted, Bata is resurrected. He then takes the form of a bull and goes to see his wife and the pharaoh. His wife, aware of his presence as a bull, asks the pharaoh if she may eat his liver. The bull is then sacrificed, and two drops of Bata's blood fall, from which grow two Persea trees. Bata, now in the form of a tree, again addresses his wife, and again she appeals to the pharaoh to cut down the Persea trees and use them to make furniture. As this is happening, a splinter ends up in the wife's mouth, impregnating her. She eventually gives birth to a son, whom the pharaoh ultimately makes crown prince. When the pharaoh dies, the crown prince (a resurrected Bata) becomes king, and he appoints his elder brother Anubis as crown prince. The story ends happily, with the brothers at peace with one another and in control of their country.

The sirens lured sailors because they were beautiful and sang very well.

[edit]

That is more an answer of HOW the sirens lured sailors. There is a speculation that they would actually eat them, according to an article on sirens on Wikipedia.

No because he would go through presents instead of putting them under your tree.

The parables of Jesus are short stories that compare an ordinary object or event to a truth. Jesus often used them to teach spiritual truths.

Miracles are those occurrences wrought by the power of God which are wholly beyond to power of men to perform.

They never existed so they can't be extinct.

Yes, a rabbit's foot is a supposed good luck charm.

Yes. Fables reveal truths about life and human nature, such as relationships, politics, and behavior. Fables don't come from any particular time. They are not just a thing of the past. Fables are being created today and are definitely relevant. Some books and movies are fables. Fables seem to be a universal form of expression of things learned from experience, especially lessons that are better taught indirectly than directly.

Clans:clans only live in the night and are more gently with the people they are sucking

Family:more rough part of a clan

Fullblood:both parents are vampire and they dont have human people in there whole existance

Halfblood:a vampire what actually is part human who has been bitten

this is my answer

Yes, there are many myths. Check out the book 'Mythology' by Edith Hamilton if you want to read some.

Humankind has a need to explain things that happen, particularly things that go wrong (bad luck) and as patterns arise the people ascribe significance to them.

Superstitions come about when those happenings get passed from one small group (ie. a family) to a larger group (the town they live in and eventually the whole area).

Some of them have a strong basis in fact or just common sense - bad luck to walk under a ladder... there could be someone working above and something may fall on you.

Others come from simple cause and effect - like the athlete that won't wash his socks while he is on a winning streak.

Vampires hate pumpkin more then garlic. They say it is the smell.

They are similar, but each reflects the values of the culture in which they were composed.
Yes.
The culture in which Homer's Odyssey was composed did not value chivalry in the way that the culture in which the Percival myths were created did.

Not in a romantic way. Dogs and humans can develope very close bonds. They can be affectionate and very loving, but as far as most scientists believe animals of different species do not generally fall in ove with each other.

Vampires are creatures of fiction and imagination. They are only as real as the print in which they appear, and they look however the individual author describes them.

In 1718, the practice of â??killing vampiresâ?? was noted in Austrian controlled Serbia and Oltenia. Between 1725 and 1735. Widely publicized tales of Serbian vampires and reports of villagers exhuming bodies and killing vampires were reported. The first written mention of the English term â??vampiresâ?? came in 1745 in a story called â??Travels of Three English Gentlemenâ??.

Definitely Ever since I was 9 years old, I've believed in the Good Neighbors. I have always been a friend of theirs, and always will be. I've seen then and have lots of proof. Please believe me, as it is true. Galvin77:I believe you Well since i was 5 my mom has made me put cupcakes in a tree house where we would then lock the door, pull the ladder down and then the next day when we went to put them there again, there weren't any left except for a couple of crumbs... but its your choice to believe it or not. saboustred289
