Creation myth in Greek mythology

At the beginning, the world was in a state of chaos: the sun was not born, the moon was not born, and the land, sea and air were mixed; The sea has not yet started to wave, the land is not strong, and the sky is not bright. However, in this chaos, the sea, land and sky are in conflict with each other, and cold, heat, softness, dryness and wetness are fighting with each other.

At a certain point in the struggle, there was a change, and these primitive substances began to split: the earth and the sky were divided into two by a horizon; Land and sea are different from each other; The qi of clearing away deficiency and turbidity began to separate. The chaotic face of the world has changed, forming a preliminary order and being able to live in harmony.

The light part rises to the blue sky and finds its own shelter in the highest place; The heavy parts gather together and become black soil; There is ubiquitous air between the earth and the sky; The rotating water set off waves and surrounded the land; And at the bottom of the underground, it is one of the darkest places, called Tarasta.

Just as the heavens and the earth were separated to form the sea and the land, the first creator, Euronome, appeared from chaos. Her long hair was fluttering and naked, and she couldn't find a place in the chaos of the universe, so she separated the sky from the sea with a wave of her hand. She danced on the undulating waves and flew forward along the strong south wind.

Walking in the Aegean Sea, the goddess Eurynome is eager to master her own direction. She whirled rapidly, caught the passing north wind and rubbed it for a while. In her magical hands, the north wind turned into a snake like a river. At this time, Ophiuon, the serpent, was cold and stiff, so Euronome, the goddess, danced rapidly, and the serpent twisted in his hand to gain heat.

When its body warms up and slowly metabolizes, it grows when it sees the wind, and its skin gradually turns into a burning flame color. It coiled up the body, wrapped around the goddess' chest, and moved to combine with the goddess. The pregnant goddess turned into a white swift dove, crouched on the waves, and laid a shining cosmic egg after 7749 days.

The goddess ordered the serpent to hover over the egg seven times, and then the cosmic egg exploded and split in two. After the split cosmic egg rolled on the waves for a while, everything was born: the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers and plants appeared in the world. Later, the goddess created a pair of giants, a man and a woman.

After completing his creative achievements, Euronom took Ophiopogon japonicus and settled in Olympus, Greece. After the two of them had a stable life, Ophiuon was not satisfied. He is self-reliant and thinks that creation is his own credit, so he is the real creator, and the goddess should obey his orders.

This, of course, made the goddess Eurynome very angry, so the two men fought. In the fierce battle, he was quick of eye and deft of hand, and kicked Fei Weng's head with his heel. Soon, Ophiuon's head swelled into a gourd bag. And his teeth were kicked off and fell from the air to the ground.

Orfin, who lost the battle, can only accept the result of failure. He was sent to Talas, the darkest cave on earth. His lost tooth fell into the dust and developed slowly. These teeth grew into the first humans on earth. The ancestors of this group of people were born from the earth and lived in the world created by the goddess for them.

There are three main sources of ancient Greek mythology: 1, the myth of the ancient piraqi people. 2. Olympism. 3. Oedipus religion.

Greek mythology is the spiritual product of primitive clan society and the earliest literary form in Europe.

It came into being in the 8th century BC, and its basic scale was formed on the basis of the long-term oral spread of ancient Greek aborigines and referring to the myths spread to Greece from other countries. Later, it was recorded in Homer's epic, hesiod's genealogy and ancient Greek poetry, drama, history and philosophy, and later generations arranged it into the present ancient Greek fairy tales, which were divided into two parts: the story of God and the legend of heroes.

Greece created the first generation of gods.

The first generation of gods are primitive gods, and the order of their birth is as follows:

In the divine spectrum, everything begins with chaos. ...

God of chaos.

Heaven and earth are invisible, covering everything and filling the whole world. In fact, they are one phase, which is called chaos today. First there was chaos, then there were the mother earth Gaia, Taras, Erebus, Nyx and eros, and the world began.

Gaia: the mother of the earth, the daughter of Kegaus. Mother of all things, the noumenon of the earth, she gave birth to Uranus in the sky, Bendus in the ocean and Ourea in the mountains.

He and her sister Nyx gave birth to Ether, the God of Space, Hemera, the God of Day, and Ka Rong, the God of Crossing the Styx.

Nyx: Goddess of the night, daughter of chaos. After Ripas was born, he was born on the earth (Gaia). The incarnation and noumenon of night, she not only gave birth to three children with her brother, but also gave birth to a large number of gods alone.

Eros: Or Elos. Cupid, son of Carlos. Born after darkness and darkness. The embodiment of love, fertility and sexual desire. It is he who promotes the fertility and love of the gods, and he is the embodiment of all love desires (including the same sex and the opposite sex).
