What is the snakes' fault?
recently I have thought about the role of snakes in mythology and religions, and was curious about why they were depicted as destroyers of the world. In Viking (Norse) Mythology, Jörmungandr is so large that he encircles the entire world . In ancient Egypt, Apophis is an eternal threat that must be defeated every single night. Vritra is a serpent who personifies drought and resists the ordering of the world by the gods.Leviathan is depicted as serpentine monsters representing primordial chaos that must be overcome by a creator god. In ancient Turkic, Evregên was believed to encircle the world or even represent the cosmos itself. Even in Christianity, they are represented as shape shifting devil that tricked eve and kicked out Adam and eve from heaven. So many different cultures , however one common enemy :)
