Amount of source material

[edit]

What I am finding is that there has been a very, very large amount of material written on this topic. This means that it may suffer from the problems encountered with the related topic Creation myths: that of bloat and loss of focus (it looked like this before it was slimmed down). I think it would therefore be a good idea to keep this article focused and summarised -- dealing with broad themes and/or more prominent myths (i.e. those discussed in detail by multiple sources -- I actually ran across two or three mentions of the Maui myth, before I included it -- and then discovered that it has an even more detailed treatment in Māui (Māori mythology) -- which should, I think, set a pattern -- leave detailed treatments of prominent myths to their own articles).

"Western civilisation"

[edit]

Green, the cited source for this paragraph, characterises this as "Western civilisation" -- and it is not an unreasonable characterisation -- the Book of Genesis has been the 'creation narrative' of the West for most of the last two millenia. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 17:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The origin of the "death myth"?

[edit]

This article is not about the origin of something called the "death myth". Hence I changed the title from "origin of death myth" to "origin-of-death myth". Michael Hardy (talk) 02:57, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
