Name Weaving (mythology) A royal portrait employing strong mythic overtones: Queen Elisabeth of Romania, born a German princess, adopts the national costume of Romania, with distaff and spindle.
The theme of weaving in mythology is ancient, and its lost mythic lore probably accompanied the early spread of this art. In traditional societies today, westward of Central Asia and the Iranian plateau, weaving is a mystery within woman's sphere. Where men have become the primary weavers in this part of the world, it is possible that they have usurped the archaic role: among the gods, only goddesses are weavers. Herodotus noted, however, the cultural difference between gender identities and weaving among Hellenes and Egyptians: among Egyptians it was the men who wove. The spindle, essential to the weaving art, is recognizable as an emblem of security and settled times in a ruler's eighth-century BCE inscription at Karatepe: Category:Comparative mythology. Ancient Greek flood myths. Greek mythology describes three floods, the flood of Ogyges, the flood of Deucalion, and the flood of Dardanus.

In addition to these floods, Greek mythology says the world was also periodically destroyed by fire. See Phaëton. Ogyges Deucalion Category:Legendary progenitors. Category:Primordial teachers.
