Just like to point out a few things,
Dominant/submissive isn't particularly gender specific. I'd like to watch anyone try and tell someone like Charon that as she is female she should be submissive. There'd be a couple of person shaped holes in the walls.
As for Norse and Christian myths, it's more likely that a Skald (Norse storyteller) was making the Norse myths more "politically correct" by trying to shoe horn them to fitting into the newly introduced Christian mythos. As far as mythologies go, the Christian mythos is much younger, it just was one of the first European ones to write stuff down. Most of the western European mythology that we see (aside from Greek/Roman) is Christianized because it didn't get written down until some Monk got bored.
I love the way you are calling it a "Christian myth" . . . tehehehehe. Sorry to anyone who considers themselves religious.
