It’s from them that all the gods, monsters, and heroes of Greek mythology later arise. These are primordial deities, the First Order of divine beings. Simultaneously – remember, there’s no Time yet – two other entities come into being: Gaia, the earth, and Tartarus, the underworld. Upon their creation, Erebus sleeps with his sister and from their union spring forth Hemera, day, and Aether, light. Indeed, the word before was meaningless as Time itself didn’t yet exist.įrom out of Chaos, two creations emerge: Erebus, the darkness, and Nyx, the night. The answer is that there was nothing before Chaos. What exactly was that? Perhaps a divine being, perhaps just nothing at all, or as Fry says, perhaps a “grand cosmic yawn.” Whatever the case, one thing scientists agree on is that everything will eventually return to Chaos, or entropy.īut just as you might wonder who or what came before the Big Bang, you might also wonder who or what came before the Greek’s Chaos. ![]() But the Greeks believed that in the beginning, there was only Chaos. Scientists today propose that the Universe started with the Big Bang. ![]()
