Sheep
The gods,
of course, had had the animals from the beginning of time. When they arranged
the world and planned the pattern of hte stars in the sky, they first laid the
glittering objects out on a sheepskin. The Sun, father of the war gods, possessed
a flock of sheep in four colors. The beautiful and human myth of the Shooting
Chant tells how he offered these to his twin children when they had sought and
found him. More about this legend

built? More about this legend
