* Myth/JapaneseMythology: The traditional Japanese creation myth states that when the first woman, Izanami, dies from giving birth to fire (literally), her husband Izanagi tries to go down to the underworld to retrieve her. Unfortunately, he gets freaked out when he sees her as a half-rotted corpse, and so Izanami lays a curse that will cause 1,000 humans to die every year Luckily, Izanagi counters by promising that 1,500 humans will be 'born' every year.

** One particular founding myth of Athens related by Creator/AugustineOfHippo in ''Literature/TheCityOfGod'' tells that after King Cecrops and his people have begun to build a new city, both Poseidon and Athena offer themselves as patron gods of the city. The people vote on which deity should be their patron god and after whom accordingly the city will be named. It turns out that all men vote for Poseidon and all women for Athena; as the women outnumber the men by one, Athena wins and the city is called Athens.

The Athenians follow this advice, implicitly blaiming the women for causing Poseidon's wrath and framing their reduction to second-class citizens as their own fault.

The (only) original source of this myth is The City Of God (book xviii, chapter 9
) by St. Augustine (who cites Marcus Terrentius Varro as his source, but Varro's work is lost) The You Tube video is not a faithful adaptation of the myth. In the original version, the gods do not appear in person (their will is communicated by the Oracle); Poseidon's gift is a freshwater spring; bountiful fishing sounds reasonable but is not mentioned; there is no mention of a vote of the Olympian gods (the videomakers seem to have made that one up). Furthermore, there is not reason to infer that Athena involved herself „only as a Take That at her uncle“, because it is in the nature of gods to want worship (and the sacrifices that go with it). In the myth as given by St. Augustine, Athena's olive tree and Poseidon's spring appear at the same time; Poseidon's offer is not identified as the first one.

** One [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6xAgpJVp5Q particular founding myth of Athens]] details a dispute between Poseidon and Athena with Poseidon appearing before a coastal city and promising bountiful fishing and harvest from the sea so long as they name him as their PatronGod. For no real reason, Athena appears and offers them olive trees, so long as they name ''her'' the {{Patron God}}dess instead. The people take a vote, but the vote turns out to be ''completely'' split along gender lines: the men all vote for Poseidon, but are outnumbered by the women, who vote for Athena. Poseidon is furious and attempts to appeal with the Olympians, but even ''they'' are completely gender-split, so again the women win by one vote and the city officially becomes Athens. However, pissing off a sea god is a bad idea for a coastal city, so the Oracle suggests that they appease Poseidon by forbidding women from voting. So not only did Athena involve herself seemingly only as a TakeThat at her uncle, but both mortal ''and'' Olympian women almost completely screwed the entire city and the Athenians could only resolve it by [[NoWomansLand reducing women to second-class citizens]].
