Who can tell me why people in mythology are made of earth?

I thought of Aristotle's four basic theories. As a philosopher, he found through observation that earth, water, air and fire are the four most common natural elements, so he took these four elements as the starting point of things.

In Greek philosophy, philosophers' thinking also focused on these substances. Like Thales, the first philosopher, thought that water was the source of all things, Aristotle analyzed that it might be because Thales saw seeds grow and germinate because of water absorption, and the moisture of water would breed many kinds of creatures, thus connecting water with the source of all things.

Because soil is the foundation, the landlord can also imagine it himself. I think China people have a deep affection for the land. They always associate the land in China with their mother, and there are many literary works such as poems praising the land.

In western tradition, as one upstairs said, the Bible records that God created the first man Adam from dust, and Adam was punished for not enjoying eternal life and returning to dust after falling. . .
