Abstract

The introduction of the paper talks about sibling rivalry myths in general and how they are used to explain the world. The paper then gives five different sibling rivalry myths with an analysis done by outside parties. These myths are Cain and Abel, Osiris and Seth, Atreus and Thyestes, Romulus and Remus, and the Iroquois creation myth. The conclusion then contains a short paragraph of my own analysis of the story in regards to how the sibling rivalry was used in the story.
