Tahitian:

A flood destroyed Tahiti. The wind alone carried away the trees and stones. Two people, a husband and wife, and the animals they carried were saved. The wife took up her young chicken, her young dog, and her kitten, and the husband took up his young pig. On the wife’s suggestion, they made their way to Mount Pita-hiti. They waited for ten nights until the sea began to withdraw. But, the land still had no produce, and the fish that had washed in with the sea were dead and rotten on the rocks. Then, the stones and trees the wind had torn away began to fall from the sky, where the winds had carried them. To escape this danger, the husband and wife dug a hole, lined it with grass, and covered it over with stones and earth. They crept inside and hid from the falling stones. Eventually, the stones stopped falling, but they waited another night in their covering to be safe. When they emerged, they found the land destroyed and desolate. The woman gave birth to a son and a daughter, but she worried about not having any food. The mother gave birth to another child, but there was still no food. Three days later, all the trees began to bear fruit again. Everyone comes from the husband and wife who survived these dangers. The Supreme God was angry and dragged the world through the sea, but Tahiti broke off and was saved.

Greek:

Persephone, the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, traveled around the world with her mother, Demeter, who ruled over everything that grew from the earth. One day, Hades, king of the underworld, saw Persephone from a distance and immediately wanted to marry her. When she approached the river where he hid, he kidnapped her and took her to the underworld. Demeter mourned the disappearance of her daughter and neglected the crops of the world, causing them to wither and die. Fearing famine, Zeus sent Hermes to retrieve Persephone from Hades, but Hades did not want to give up his bride. He gave Persephone a pomegranate, which she ate, not realizing that eating food from the underworld would keep her there. Zeus ordered Persephone to spend part of the year on the earth with Demeter and part of the year in the underworld with Hades. So it is that the earth is alive and covered with growing plants for the half of the year Persephone spends with Demeter. When the earth is bare and lifeless, Persephone is with Hades in the underworld, and Demeter mourns her daughter’s absence.
