Cretan Mythology

Two shocking events have shaken and continue to shake humans, since they first appeared on earth; birth and death. Humans look around and see that everything has a beginning and an end. Their children are born and die. So are animals, plants and stars. Birth and death alternate non-stop.

Going back in time, one reaches the beginning of everything where a man and a woman gave birth to their first children. Who gave birth to them? The modern man thinks and thinks again and their mind gives birth to the god. God must have always existed and he cannot ever die.

To cut a long story short, they discover that only the ground they walk on, that is, the earth, and the celestial universe around them, that is, the sky, are always there and time does not seem to touch them. These will be their first gods: Heaven and Earth. In fact, by watching the earthly world that surrounds them, they can’t think of god differently than as a couple, male and female, man and woman: man Uranus and woman Earth.
