  • Mythological motif index
     OP - April 12, 2013, 07:43 AM

    I am going through a categorised list of creation myth concepts. This is an index of motifs by S Thompson, used by those who study folklore.

    A large number are (unsurprisingly) repeated in the quran. A very small non exhaustive list below:

    A1172.3 - the chasing of night and day
    A763.2 - stars are to decorate the heavens
    A1191 - all things receive names
    A650. - 7 heavens
    A625.2 - sky raised up and separated from earth
    A1241 - man created from clay
    A1010 - flood
    A1301. Men at first as large as giants.
    B41.2. Flying horse (hadith)

    Others are not in the quran, but I just quite like:
    A1046.1. World-eclipse ended by bat making sun smile.
    A965.1. One mountain in love with another stretches leg out to meet her: origin of a mountain chain.
    A1313.4.1. Women at first with breasts on their foreheads.
    A1665.1. Why Africans have bad feet.


    I am posting this link because it is the most interesting thing I have come across in a while.  A useful source for quran debunkers, but it also tells us a lot about humans and the naivety of 'common sense'.
