The people of this continent have a rich
tradition of mythology. The gods represent the various aspects of nature
and the ranges of human emotion. In books and stories they are used to
teach children about the physical world and about the follies of mankind.
Sculptors, painters and poets still pay homage to them as metaphors of
life.
Manifested here is a classic example of this cultural need for such
imagery, Church Falls. It is named for the engineer who designed
the hydraulic generators to bring electric power to McCay City, but she is
portrayed as the goddess of the sea, Mermidian.
