The flood myths, found in various cultures, often depict the wrath of deities against humanity. One notable figure is Zeus in Greek mythology, who unleashed a great flood to cleanse the world of humanity's corruption, paralleling the biblical account of Noah's Ark. In these narratives, the flood serves as a means of divine judgment and rebirth, emphasizing the themes of morality and human recklessness. Through the preservation of a few chosen individuals, these myths convey the notion of hope and the possibility for a new beginning after disaster.
