Both the Greek and Genesis creation stories utilize the villain archetype. Because he was afraid of the prophecy, “Cronus swallowed each of his children as they were born” (Greek creation). This proves that Cronus is filling the role of the villain archetype. His lust for power is so great that he selfishly sacrifice his own children to keep the throne. Because the serpent wanted the women to be a villain like him, “the serpent told the women, you won’t die. God knows the moment you eat from that tree, you’ll see what really going on” (Genesis 3, 4-5). In this line the serpent is villain. The serpent wanted Eve to become a villain by disobeying God. These examples show that both stories using the villain archetype.
The Greek and the Genesis creation stories also contrast with the former having an epic battle, father/son rivalry, and the latter a garden archetype. Because Zeus freed Hecatoncheires from Cronus, “the Hecatoncheires rained down hundreds of boulders with such a fury the Titans thought the mountains were falling on them. They broke and ran giving Zeus victory” (Greek creation). This line refers to the epic battle archetype. In the battle Zeus almost lost, but with the help of the Hecatoncheires he won. After God created a lot of stuff, in addition, “God planted a garden in Eden, in the east” (Genesis 2,8-9). This line refers to garden archetype. God grew all types of plants for Adam and Eve to eat. These examples show the different archetype that the stories use.
