Creation (Greek)

=Beginning=


 * Chaos straddled the unmade universe in this very beginning of time. Chaos birthed Nyx, or night, and Erebus. Eros emerged out of Chaos also, and from his love light and day appeared. Then, as the light shined, Gaia emerged and set herself in the universe. Then Erebus slept with Night, and they produced Ether. Then Night by itself produced such things as Doom, Fate, Sleep, Dreams, Death, and Nemesis. Gaia then bore Uranus, who was the embodiment of the heavens. Gaia and Uranus lay upon each other and produced the Cyclops, the Hecatonchires, and lastly, the divine Titans.

Variations

 * It is also said, quite differently, that there was a single being, the first goddess, Eurynome, who danced upon the waves and created land and sea's and the Earth itself. She coupled with the great Ophion, a snake that could wrap itself around the universe. They produced Eros, the god of love, and then Eurynome populated the world with such things as Nymphs, Furies, and Charites along with monsters and beasts.
 * Then the rest of the first variation follows: Gaia is born out of Chaos and produces and marries her son Uranus, and they have their children together.
