  • In this episode of "Mythical Marvels," we explore the sibling rivalry between Amaterasu, the sun goddess, and Susanoo, the storm god, in Japanese mythology. The story highlights their conflicts, including Susanoo's destructive pranks that drive Amaterasu into hiding, plunging the world into darkness. The other gods' efforts to coax her out, culminating in a clever ruse involving a mirror, restore light to the world.
