A European myth tells of either a Devil making one of these objects when a rooster loses its soul, or a dog chasing a piece of bread. The creation myth from the Khasi people of Meghalaya features a “golden” one of these objects made from the roots of the rubber fig tree. A one-eyed hero legendarily fended off invading Etruscans to allow the Romans to destroy one of these things; that hero is Horatius Cocles. A conflict over one of these objects drives the Norwegian fairy tale (*) Three Billy Goats Gruff. A flock of magpies form this type of object to allow the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to reunite in Chinese mythology. One of these structures will break as the sons of Muspell invade during Ragnarök, and is watched over by Heimdall. For 10 points, name these structures such as Bifröst that often connect Heaven and Earth. ■END■
