The Epic of Creation

The Epic of Creation refers to the narrative found in various mythologies that describe how the universe and life came into existence. One well-known version is from the Babylonian "Enuma Elish," which depicts a cosmic battle among gods resulting in the creation of the world. Another example is the Judeo-Christian Genesis, which describes God creating the world in six days. These stories convey fundamental themes about the origins of existence, the role of divine beings, and the establishment of order from chaos, reflecting humanity's desire to understand its beginnings and purpose in the universe.
