Changes: Chaos

Revision as of 12:38, 10 December 2015

Khaos (or Chaos) was the first of the Protogenoi (primeval gods) and precedes the universe. He was followed in quick succession by Gaia (Earth), Tartaros (the Underworld) and Eros (Love the life-bringer).

Khaos was the lower atmosphere which surrounded the earth - invisible air and gloomy mist. His name khaos literally means the gap, the space between heaven and earth. Khaos was the father or grandfather of the other substances of air: Nyx (Night), Erebos (Darkness), Aither (Light) and Hemera (Day), as well as the various emotion-affecting Daimones which drifted through it. He was also a god of fate like his daughter Nyx and grand-daughters the Moirai.

Later authors defined Khaos as the chaotic mix of elements that existed in the primeval universe, confusing it with the primeval Mud of the Orphic cosmogonies, but this was not the original meaning.

Reign

Chaos was the non-personified concept of the gap between heaven and earth. In some versions of the myth, the egg of creation was born out of this gap encircled by Chronos (time) and Ananke (inevitability/ fate). They proceed to crack the egg and start the other protogenoi.

Family

No father or mother
Protogenoi (children): Ouranos, Ananke, Gaia, Nyx, Eros, and Erebos and Birds (With Eros)

Trivia

Name actually means "the gap".
