Khaos/Chaos (Gr: χάος) was the embodiment of nothingness before creation. It was the parent of Chronos, Ananke, Eros, Gaia, Nyx and Erebos.

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.
