I am doing a term paper on creation myths in the world's religions. Can anyone suggest some good books on the subject ? The most helpful answer gets 10 points.

You can read Metamorphoses by Ovid. There are a lot of creation myths there. There are different translations out there on this book....

For those that have already posted.
Dictionary definition of the word myth.
myth (m¹th) n. 1.a. A traditional, typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serves as a fundamental type in the world view of a people, as by explaining aspects of the natural world or delineating the psychology, customs, or ideals of society.
For the Questioner:

I hope your library carries some of the above.

Your question is offensive if your doing your paper on "Myths" in world religions. Mythology is different from religion. If your teacher is saying this then your teacher is being offensive.
