The discovery of Amerindian myths posed a number of specific challenges for Europeans. Such myths constituted a veritable blind spot, as is made evident in the interpretation of one of the episodes of the cosmogonic cycle of Aataentsic by Jean de Brébeuf and by Antoine-Denis Raudot. While Brébeuf only saw Amerindian legends as an avatar of Judéo-Christian mythology, Raudot found in them the seeds to nourish an obsession with monsters. Thus, Amerindian mythology is stripped of its true meaning and any inherent value, permitting both narrators to consequently blinker themselves in regards to their own mythologies.
