Myths wanted

[clarentine]

I'm looking for a myth from which I can borrow. The specific elements I'm looking for include two peoples, one of which is created from the excrement of the other. Anyone got anything close?

Try the Enuma Elish. Also other ancient Near Eastern myths. I've never read them in their entirety, but I seem to remember something about shit.

(Possibly it was mud, or entrails, or both.)

And that's probably not helpful, but I don't recollect any other mythic cycles with excrement, specifically.

Hey, any lead is a good lead....

I think I'm going to go see the reference librarian this weekend. *g*

Reference librarians are good people to know. :)
