Myths are statements in metaphor about rigorous life problems; thus they project emotional realities. Among Genesis myths are etiologic rationalizations for: harsh toil for sustenance; woman's pain in childbirth; the unequal struggle against conscience; punishment for murder; world destruction and rebirth. A good God rules; the dominant tone is optimism
