Ancient Greek Creation Myth



In the beginning there was chaos. Chaos was according to the ancient Greeks a big gap of nothing. From Chaos Gaia (Earth) emerged together with Tartaros the Abyss, Erebus the Darkness and Nyx the Night.

Gaia gave birth to Uranus the sky.
Uranus together with Gaia became parents of the 12 Titans, the one eyed cyclops and the Hecatonchires creatures with one hundred arms.
But Uranos did not love his children and trapped them into the abyss.
This made Gaia furious so she convinced the youngest titan Cronus to castrate his father.
And so he did and Cronus became the Leader of the titans.
