How Lions Acquired Their Manes

In my English class last year, there was a Greek Mythology unit and my teacher gave the class an assignment saying that we all had to create a myth that explained how something came to be. As you can see from the title, it tells how lions acquired their manes. And about the gods Pang and Thistle, don't ask about how I came up with those names. I tried putting in their main characteristics into a translator and when I put them in to become Greek, it looked like this:

Pang: ουσ.  βασιλέας, ρήγας, βασιλιάς

Thorn:  ουσ.  κενοδοξία, ματαιότης, ματαιότητα, ματαιοδοξία, αυταρέσκεια, ματαιοφροσύνη

WHAT?!!!! XD

And Now for the Story
When the gods were creating animals to fill the earth, Pang, the god of earthly kings, created lions. He was satisfied with his work, but thought that he could have added something more to be able to distinguish them from male and female, as the two looked identical. Lost in his thoughts, Pang went back to Mt. Olympus and walked into the twelve Olympian gods admiring Pang’s brother, Thistle, the god of vanity and ambition. In the middle of the crowd, Thistle was standing next to a tiger, one of the creatures he had made. Thistle looked at his brother and merely smirked. “My creation is much better than yours,” he sneered. “Not only does it look fiercer, it even has an air of authority when you look upon it.”

Pang was always a soft-spoken god, so he went to Artemis for help. He asked her to punish Thistle if he were to be so arrogant about his successes again. Artemis was bored by the subject, however, and told Pang to fix the problem himself. The goddess then cast Pang away.

Furious at his brother and Artemis’ refusal to help, Pang went back to earth and gathered all of his male lions. He put his hands over them and they started growing long fur around their head, down their spine, and down their chest. “From this day forth, every male lion will have a mane, symbolizing a crown. They will be known as the kings of all land-dwelling creatures, and no mortal being will best them.”
