Chaos (Khaos/Chaos,): the god of chaos.

At the beginning of the universe, there was only chaos. Who was the boundless empty space? Then Gaia, the goddess of the earth, Taras, Erebus, Nyx and eros, the goddess of the night, were born, and the world began.

Gaia: Goddess of the Earth, the daughter of chaos, born alone with Uranus, Bendus and Ourea. Later, together with Uranus, she became the first generation king of gods, and then she gave birth to the Twelve Titans. Later, Uranus was castrated and Xie Jing splashed on her, and she gave birth to giants, three white oak goddesses, Erines and Miriya.

Erebus: The god of darkness, the son of Carlos and the brother of Nyx, the night god.

Darkness exists between the earth and hades. After death, the soul passes through darkness, reaches hades, and becomes a national subjugation.

Ripas and the Knicks combined to give birth to Ether, the God of Space, Hemera, the God of Day, and Ka Rong, the God of Styx.

Nyx: the goddess of the night, the daughter of chaos, and the sister of Eribus, the god of darkness.

The image of Knicks is a woman dressed in black, and her residence in hades is covered with dark clouds. Every night, when the star of Hess Pelosi clears the way, she leaves Hades and flies into the sky in a chariot, so that the night covers the earth and the world is immersed in peace. Knicks is old and strong, and even Zeus respects her.

In addition to the three children left by the Knicks and Ripas, she also gave birth to a large number of gods alone:

Murray: The Three Fates

Eris: the goddess of discord

Maurus: the Eritrean God;

Ceres: ghosts and gods;

Thanatus: death;

Hypnus: sleeping god;

Oneiros: God of dreams;

Momus: mocking God;

Oizys: Worried about God;

Nemesis: the goddess of anger;

Pat: Deceiving God;

Philotes: the god of eroticism;

Geras: Old God. Bendus: Poseidon, son of Gaia, the god of the earth, and brother of Uranus and Ourea. Because of the movement of the earth, there are bumps in the flat, and the unfathomable depression is the "sea". Therefore, in essence, pantos refers to a "big pit" containing sea bodies, and he is the Poseidon in the geological sense.

Pantos combined with his mother Gaia and gave birth to many sons and daughters representing various attributes of the ocean: the friendliness of the ocean-nereus; The miracle of the sea-Taomati; The wrath of Poseidon; The danger of the sea-Ceto; And the power of the sea-Eurybia.

Pantos's wife is Tarrasa, the goddess of the sea-the glittering "water surface" condensed by bright substance "ether". She gave birth to nine art gods, Telchin, and Halia, the goddess of the sea-the salty water at the bottom of the sea is full of sea pits, the sea gods in the sense of water quality-and thousands of sea fish roaming among them.

Uranus: God, son of the earth, brother of pantos, the sea god, and Ourea, the mountain god.

Gaia's husband, the king of the first generation of gods, is really more than one god. After he and Gaia gave birth to the Twelve Titans, he was overthrown by his youngest son, kronos.

Twelve titans born of Uranus and Kaya:

Anoos, the god of rivers and seas.

Coase-the God of Darkness and Wisdom

Hyperion-the sun, the god of light.

Chris)-the god of growth.

Partos-the father of Prometheus, Epimetheus and Al themis.

Kronos-God (the second king of gods)

These six giants are:

Thea-Goddess of Wealth, Light and Vision

Rhea-Goddess of Time (Queen of the Second Generation)

Themis-goddess of water, mother of order and justice.

Mnemosyne-the goddess of memory, the mother of nine muses.

Phoebe, the goddess of the moon

Tethys, goddess of the sea

Ourea: The mountain god, the brother of pantos and the son of Uranus. Because of the movement of the earth, there are bumps in the flat, and the towering bumps are "mountains".

Leto: The goddess of the night, the daughter of Coase and Phoebe, the gods of darkness and wisdom, and the sister of Asteria, the goddess of starry night.

Leto is the gentlest goddess and Zeus' sixth spouse. After Leto became pregnant, the jealous queen Hera couldn't tolerate other goddesses giving birth to Zeus' eldest son, so she ordered that the land be forbidden to give Spears the place where she gave birth. Leto ran around in pain, and finally her sister Adelos became an "island of ignorance", stepped forward and accepted her. Zeus erected four diamond pillars on the seabed and fixed the floating island. Here, Leto first gave birth to themis, the goddess of hunting and midwifery. Nine days later, with the help of themis, she gave birth to god of light Apollo.

Al Simis and Apollo were sitting on Mount Olympus, and they also took their mother Leto to Mount Olympus.

Asteria: The daughter of the starry night goddess, the god of darkness and wisdom, Cross and the moon god Fobo, and the sister of the night goddess Leto.

Asteria combined with Poerxiusi, the god of destruction, and gave birth to her only daughter, Hecate, the goddess of ghosts and gods and magic. Zeus, the god of heaven, also fell in love with Asteria. In order to avoid Zeus, she flew away as a quail, and Zeus became a vulture. Asteria fell into the sea and became a floating island-"Quail Island" Ortygia, also known as "Ignorance Island" Adelos. After Apollo, the sun god, was born on the island, the island was renamed Deloose again and became the holy land of Apollo.

Among the three goddess of the night, the Knicks are the embodiment of the night itself, while Leto and the sisters Astoria are two different faces of the night: Leto symbolizes the night without stars and the moon, and Asteria corresponds to the starry night.

Hemera: the daughter of euripides, the god of day and darkness, and Knicks, the god of night, and the sister of Ether, the god of space.

Hemera and his mother, Nix, live in the same apartment, but they never stay in it at the same time. They always come in and go out one after another. Whenever eos, the goddess of the dawn, appeared, she left Hades and flew into the sky in a chariot to disperse the night, so that the skylight could illuminate the earth and awaken everything in the world.

The ancient Greeks thought that the alternation of day and night had nothing to do with sunrise and sunset, but was a completely independent natural phenomenon: the Knicks covered the earth with darkness, and the day was because Hemera dispelled the darkness.

Hemera combined with Ether and gave birth to Tarrasa, the goddess of the sea, the wife of pantos.

Ether: The son of euripides, the god of space and darkness, and Knicks, the god of night, and the brother of Hemera, the god of day.

The ancient Greeks believed that the highest place in the universe was Uranus in the sky and Hemera in the space below, where the sun, moon and stars all moved.

Helius: The son of the sun god, Leo and Tia, and the brother of the moon goddess Selene and eos.

Helius's image is a tall, handsome and unnecessary handsome man, wearing a purple robe and a shiny gold crown. Every day, he drives four fire horse solar cars across the sky, bringing light to the world. After the Battle of Titan, Zeus rewarded the gods, and god of light Apollo demanded the position of the sun. Zeus forgot Helius who was on duty and agreed to Apollo's request. Later, the beautiful and pleasant Rhodes Island was given to Helius as compensation.

Selene is famous for her amorous feelings. She gave birth to Horace, the goddess of the four seasons, Pandia and Nemea with Zeus, and Mina with Endymion.

Selene is the second goddess of the moon, and the first is Phoebe. Later, themis, the goddess of hunting and midwifery, asked Zeus for the responsibility of light. Zeus agreed. These three moon goddesses are distinguished by the image of the moon. Usually, Faubi stands for new moon, Celegne stands for full moon and Al themis stands for new moon.

Eos (EOS): Leona, the betrothed daughter of Leo and Tia, the sister of Helius, the sun god, and Selene, the moon goddess.

The image of Eos is a beautiful woman with rosy fingers and hidden red clothes. The golden cart was pulled by a winged horse. She dyed the dawn sky red with dawn. Ios is famous for her love affair. She combined with Astray Aosi, the god of stars, and gave birth to Animi, Astra, Zeus (Ersa). Her love with Ares led to the curse of Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, "to become a nymphomaniac obsessed with mortals". From then on, she fell into an endless desire for mortals: Orion, Kratos, fallows and Ti Tuo. ......

Melia Goddess (Melia Goddess/Melia): Three white oak goddesses, born after the blood of Uranus, the god of heaven, spilled on Gaia. She is the sister of Gantes and Erines, the goddess of vengeance.

Minta: Shui Ze/Mint Goddess, daughter of Corsitos, the weeping river god. It turned out to be a Shui Ze fairy.

Mingta was once Hades' favorite lover, but Hades married Persephone, the goddess of spring from Antai, and declared her the queen of death. Minta was jealous, and spread her around, far more beautiful and noble than Persephone. Hades would definitely come back to her and drive Persephone out of the house.

Jealous Calea denounced the relationship between Ryukyu and Helius to King Ocamos of Persia. Ockham ordered the unfaithful daughter to be buried alive. When Helius learned about it, he cut off contact with Calea completely. Infatuated Calea didn't eat or drink for nine days in a row, staring at Helius driving up and down in a solar car, languishing day by day and finally becoming a sunflower.

Lotties: Goddess of Shui Ze/Lotus Tree, originally a fairy in Shui Ze.

Priapus, the god of reproduction, fell madly in love with her, and became a lotus tree for the pursuit of priapus.

The "lotus" mentioned by the ancient Greeks is not oriental aquatic lotus, but refers to Egyptian water lilies, clover that can be used as horse feed, an African tree that can make flutes, and jujube flowers and fruits that can make people forget their troubles. In China, there are some translations of "Camel Jujube", some of which are translated into "Forgotten Flowers" and some are called "Rotos Tree". However, because China's "lotus" also means many things from grass to wood, it is no longer critical to connect directly.

Daphne: Shui Ze/Laurel Goddess, daughter of the river god Penes.

Apollo, the third generation sun god, laughed at eros, the little god of love, after killing the python. The humiliated eros shot a golden arrow at Apollo, which made him fall in love with Daphne at first sight. Then shoot Daphne with a silver arrow to make her refuse love. Apollo chased Daphne crazily, and Daphne fled to her father's river crazily, begging him to change her appearance to avoid Apollo's love. Penez agreed to her daughter's request and turned her into a laurel tree.

Apollo, who lost his first love, refused to change his mind, kissed the laurel tree and cried, declaring it his sacred tree, and the laurel tree became his symbol.
