CLT-3378 Lecture Notes - Sea Foam, Quiche, Staple Food
Document Summary
Daily question: briefly relate a specific element from one of today"s readings to a greco-roman myth that we have studied: mayan myth: Have a flood and save some of the people. Vira cocha floods the world and gets immortal companions to get the people out of the stones. Flooded earth because they broke a rule that was put on them so they had to be eliminated ( we don"t know the rule ) Made giants first then eliminated them and made humans smaller. Lack of succession because there is only one creator (monotheistic) for the inca. Spanish look like superior culture that civilizes this inca culture: similar to pro zeta, vira cocha: the creator and sea foam (similar to aphrodite in. Hesiod: aphrodite born from sea foam, vira cocha is called sea foam because he walks over the water (after all of this happens we know this name but we don"t know name before)
