CELTIC FLOOD STORY
Heaven and Earth were great giants, and Heaven lay upon the Earth so that their children were crowded between them, and the children and their mother were unhappy in the darkness.
The boldest of the sons led his brothers in cutting up Heaven into many pieces.
From his skull they made the firmament.
His spilling blood caused a great flood which killed all humans except a single pair, who were saved in a ship made by a beneficent Titan.
The waters settled in hollows to become the oceans.
The son who led in the mutilation of Heaven was a Titan and became their king, but the Titans and gods hated each other, and the king titan was driven from his throne by his son, who was born a god.
That Titan at last went to the land of the departed.
The Titan who built the ship, whom some consider to be the same as the king Titan, went there also. [Sproul, pp. 172-173]
