The Biginning
It started with just chaos. There was nothing but darkness and death. -
The Birth of Love
Amazingly, darkness and death gave birth to Love. This brought order and beauty to the universe. Love then created Light and Day. -
The Earth
The Earth was created next, although it was never explained. It just happened. It just seemed natural that this should happen next. -
The First Creatures
Mother Earth and Father Heaven gave birth to two children, Gaea and Oruanos. They were monsters. They were to the Greeks as dinosaurs are to us. They had the awesome powers of nature. -
Death of Heaven
Heaven and Earth had many children. First were monsters with a hundred hands and fifty heads. Next were the Cyclops. And finally the Titans. Heaven imprisoned the first monsters. Earth wanted to free her children, so she helped Cronus, a Titan, kill him. The Giants and Furies sprang from his blood. -
War
Cronus had many children. But he learned one was destined to overthrow him, so he swollowed all his children. His wife hid one, Zues, from him and gave hime a stone in swaddling clothes instead. Zues freed his siblings and fought the Titans. They won, with the help of the Titan Promethius and the hundred handed monsters -
Seizing Control
Another child of Earth, Typhon, tried to defeat the gods. But Zues used thunder and lightning to kill him. The Giants also revolted, but Hercules helped the gods throw them down to Tartarus. The gods had seized control of the universe. -
Humans
There are two different stories. I will mix them. Promethius and Epimethius created humans, but Epimethius had already given all the good traits to the animals. So Promethius gave them fire and the ability to reason, and also the upright shape of the gods. Then they created the gold race. They lived like gods. Then they decided to create the silver race. They were dumb and just hurt each other. Next was brass. These men were very bad and had constant wars. Then was the Iron race. That is the end
