I was just wondering, if how can all the gods exist together, and yet still all have their own origins from myth? I mean surely they all contradict each other, for example the Olympians: They descended from the Titans who came from Gain & Ouranos who were either part of the Primordials or their descendants, the same Primordials who supposedly created the cosmos and the world. Then there's the Amatsu-Kami, who grew in an alternate dimensions but came to Earth and found is nothing but darkness ruled by Mikaboshi, so there Izanagi & Izanami created the land masses and the world as we know it. Two completely different stories about how the world came to be, so the leaders of the Amatsu Kami came to Earth, at which point even if the Olympians hadn't been sired yet, surely the Titans or even the Primordials would have been around, and yet they say there was nothing but Mikaboshi in darkness, so where were the Greek gods, and the same goes for all the others. So as they all have their own conflicting creation myths in which each respective pantheon is descended from the beginnings of the universe, which ones are true? What are their real origins and are they all actually related and their myths exactly that, just made up legends? I realize most of them came from their original god or skyfather mating with Gaia, but those skyfathers in most pantheons are supposedly the first beings created in the universe. Thoughts?
