Storybook References


Hawaiian Flood Myth
Barrère, Dorothy B. The Kumuhonua Legends: A Study of Late 19th Century Hawaiian Stories of Creation and Origins, Pacific Anthropological Records number 3, Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI, 1969.This is where the legend of Kane and the flood comes from.  It is a summary of a larger story.

Noah Flood Myth
Dundes, Alan (ed.) The Flood Myth, University of California Press, Berkeley and London, 1988.  This is what I have been using as the first part of the frametale about Noah and his ark.
Ovid. The Metamorphoses, Horace Gregory (transl..), Viking Press, New York, 1958.  The Jupiter myth about the flood is told here in the Ovid.  Basically I retold this story that was in one of our reading sections for Mythology 3043.

Caddo Flood Myth
Erdoes, Richard and Alfonso Ortiz. American Indian Myths and Legends, Pantheon Books, New York. 1984.  The Caddo flood myth is told by me in my words but mirroring Erdoes and Ortiz version.

Mexican Flood Myth
Horcasitas, Fernando, 1953. An Analysis of the Deluge Myth in Mesoamerica, in Dundes.  The flood myth of Mexico told here is again the basis of my storybook with some liberties taken by me of course.  I sort of blended this story to make it kind of my own.

Chinese Flood Myth
Miller, Lucien (ed). South of the Clouds: Tales from Yunnan, University of Washington Press, Seattle, 1994.  This is the Thunder God version of the flood myth.  I basically used this story as a model for mine.

Conclusion of Noah
World English Biblehttp://ebible.org   This is the source that Laura Gibbs used for the Noah and Babel section.  I basically used her narrative and then just put my own spin on it.
