The first three generations

In the beginning… There was Chaos, an enormous, shapeless darkness, a yawning void, if you will.

From this ultimate source of creation was born the five original elements. Gaia ~ Earth Tartarus ~ the Underworld

Erebus ~ the gloom of the Underworld Eros ~ the force of Love Nyx (Night) ~ the power of darkness

Night was a mysterious darkness, concealing evil and enemies. (giving her a character made her less mysterious)

Nyx mated with Erebus Day Aether (pure upper atmosphere) Also gave birth later to evils: Doom Death Misery Resentment Deceit Strife

Strife gave birth to… Murder Carnage Battle Lawlessness

Gaia gave birth to Uranus

Gaia also generated Mountains Pontus (personification of the sea)

Together, Gaia and Uranus made… 3 Hecatonchires Cyclopes: Arges, Brontes, Steropes

Gaia also gave birth to… Daphne, a wood nymph Twelve Titans

Second Generation…the Titans

The Twelve Titans Males Females Oceanus, god of sea Hyperion, sun god Iapetus Cronus Coeus Crius Tethys, Oceanus’ mate Theia, Hyperion’s mate Themis, earth goddess Rhea, earth goddess Mnemosyne, goddess of memory Phoebe

Royal Couple: Cronus and Rhea Their children: Demeter Hera Hades Poseidon Hestia Zeus
