Chaos Gaia Eros Ouranos Oceanos Cronus Rhea Hades Poseidon Zeus Hera ...
Chaos, ( Greek: “Abyss”) in early Greek cosmology, either the primeval emptiness of the universe before things came into being or the abyss of Tartarus, the
underworld. Both concepts occur in the Theogony
of Hesiod. First there was Chaos in Hesiod’s system, then Gaea and Eros (Earth
and Desire). Chaos, however, did not generate Gaea; the offspring of Chaos were
Erebus (Darkness) and Nyx. Nyx begat Aether, the bright upper air, and Day.
Nyx later begat the dark and dreadful aspects of the universe (e.g., Dreams, Death,
War, and Famine). This concept tied in with the other early notion that saw

her last-born child by him, separated her, she was also mother of the other
Titans, the Gigantes, the Erinyes, and the Cyclopes (see giant; Furies; Cyclops). Gaea may have been originally a mother goddess worshipped in
Greece before the Hellenes introduced the cult of Zeus. Less
widely worshipped in historic times, Gaea was described as the giver of dreams
and the nourisher of plants and young children. Gaea is often shown as being

Ouranos Uranus
Uranus, in
Greek mythology, the personification of heaven.
According to Hesiod’s Theogony,
Gaea
(Earth), emerging from primeval Chaos,
produced Uranus,
the Mountains, and the Sea. From Gaea’s subsequent union with Uranus were born
the Titans, the Cyclopes, and the Hecatoncheires.
Uranus hated his offspring and hid them in Gaea’s body. She
appealed to them for vengeance, but Cronus (a
Titan) alone responded. With the harpē
(a scimitar) he removed Uranus’ testicles as he approached Gaea.
From the drops of Uranus’ blood that fell on her were born the Furies, the
Giants, and the Meliai (ash-tree nymphs). The severed genitals floated ..
Cronus Kronos Saturn
in
ancient Greek religion, male deity who was worshipped by the pre-Hellenic
population of Greece but probably was not widely worshipped by the Greeks
themselves; he was later identified with the Roman god Saturn.
Cronus’s functions were connected with agriculture; in Attica
his festival, the Kronia, celebrated the harvest and resembled the Saturnalia.
In art he was depicted as an old man holding an implement, probably originally
a sickle
but interpreted as a harpē,
or curved sword.
In Greek
mythology Cronus was the son of Uranus
(Heaven) and Gaea
(Earth), being the .Zeus Jupiter
in ancient Greek religion, chief deity of
the pantheon, a sky and weather god who was identical with the Roman god Jupiter. Zeus was regarded as the sender of thunder and lightning, rain, and winds, and his traditional weapon was the
thunderbolt. He was called the father (i.e., the ruler and protector) of both
gods and men.
