The Genesis and Greek creation stories are both similar and different in how they use literally archetypes. There are many different types of archetypes in both creation stories.

Both the Greek and Genesis storied utilize the villain archetype. “Cronus swallowed each of his children as they were born.” His lust for power is so great the he selfishly sacrifices his own children to keep the throne. This proves that Cronus is filling the role of the villain archetype. “The serpent told the women, “You won’t die.” The serpent wants the women to disobey god. Being the evil villain he is, the serpent lied to the women. The serpent is an example of a villain because he is playing the role of the villain archetype. These examples show both stories using the villain archetype.
The Greek and Genesis creation stories also contrast, with the former having an epic battle or sibling rivalry archetype. “Earth, generates life! Every sort and kind: cattle and reptiles and wild animals-all kinds.” In the Genesis creation story, this example represents the garden archetype. God made the world in seven days. It was his desire to create it and to re-create it. In the Greek creation story the sibling rivalry is present. In the example, “Cain came at Able his brother and killed him.” It represents the sibling rivalry archetype. Cain was jealous of his brother and wanted to be on god’s good side. To get back at him, he killed his brother so he could be the one god liked.
