Setting things right: getting rid of lion, the age old men, and god (all 3 parts) 2 events that reinforce the pattern: eating the entrails, bringing cow child back to life. 2 functions: keeps wanting to kill him, but in so doing, she is manipulating him through his rite of passage. Mantis is a god, and a divine trickster. Cleanses his eyes, throws the feather in the sky, moon is created.
