Natural disasters in myths often serve as omens or divine retributions, reflecting humanity’s relationship with nature. Many myths depict catastrophic events, such as floods or earthquakes, as manifestations of the gods' displeasure or warnings to society. In Noah's Ark, the flood symbolizes divine judgment, while Greek tales attribute storms to the whims of gods like Poseidon. Such narratives illustrate a broader theme of humanity’s vulnerability and the consequences of straying from moral paths, reinforcing the necessity for respect and harmony with the natural world.
