Greek Mythology – The Beginning and Things

In the beginning of the universe there was only Chaos. Chaos is the embodiment of all existence in its most primal state. Later on, it created Gaea/Gaia, the embodiment of the Earth, and Ouranos, the embodiment of the sky and stars.
Chaos also created other protogenoi (embodiments of the bases of existence or a first generation immortal beings), and creatures. For example, Nyx (darkness), Tartaurus (prison of souls), and many more. But we will get back to them later.
Moving on, Gaea and Ouranos gave birth to 12 second generation of immortal beings, (aka the Titans), each embodying a new concept or element. They, in turn, gave birth to more Titans as well as other generations and creatures.
There were 12 children of Gaea and Ouranos. After living under the oppression of their father they revolted against him under the leadership of Gaea through her youngest son Kronos. To deprive Ouranos from his physical form, 3 of the 6 male Titans (including Kronos), lured him into a trap consisting of a picnic with Gaea. To kill Ouranos, Kronos had received a giant golden scythe from the Titan’s distant cousins, the Cyclops. The Cyclops were forgers and metal welders. Kronos destroyed his father’s physical form by chopping him into pieces. It was a “bloody” scene. Thanks to the fact that gods don’t have blood but ichor (a golden liquid). From the drops of ichor that fell around them, came the Nymphs and Satyrs.
