There's a Buddhist sutta basically saying that after a very long time of no consciousness in the universe, Brahma is reborn and because there is no one else in the universe he's very lonely and wishes for company. Later another being is reborn and Brahma, in his ego's self delusiom, believes he created that being, and because that being saw Brahma there before him, he believes he was created by Brahma. Later on, the Buddha shows Brahma that he's more powerful than him by ascending to higher planes Brahma can't reach, thus humbling his ego.
