<Snipped quote by Mardox>

Perhaps you've the Enuma Elish?  Mesopotamian gods are like the epitome of lazy and egotistical.  The mythos states they destroyed civilization with a storm because humanity, having been created to do the work the gods didn't want to do, made too much noise in their work and disturbed the sleeping gods.

That sounds worth researching. Despite my previous statement, I'm a fan of ancient mythology.
