Come along with us for a little tour of fire myths. Trickster gods just love to steal fire and sometimes even share it with us. You have probably heard of Prometheus, but do you know how Maui stole fire? Or how opossum stole fire for his people? Well, you will soon!

P.S. If you're wondering why this is a 'part 1', Parts 2 and 3 of comparative mythology (dragons and floods), and any other parts I dream up in the future, are coming at a later date.
