Chaos and the primordial Hellenic Gods

Interesting thread have a bump. Also you might get better answers on >>>/x/ I'm not sure.

I doubt I would get an informed answer from /x/, besides, my question is a more "realistic" one, regarding the actual conception the average Hellenic had of them. I think the only Primordial God you ever read doing stuff is Eros/Cupid, the other ones, while of course being omnipresent and being the actual Sky, Time and Earth, rarely get any "screentime".

Chaos is the one I'm more interested about, he always existed or was the first thing to ever exist, he started everything in every version of the myth there is, he should be by any account the most important God.

>Tell me about Chaos, the creator of everything in Greek mythology.

1. CHAOS IS THE VOID, OR THE ABYSS —THE ABSENCE OF EVERYTHING— ALL THAT WHICH IS BEYOND/OUTSIDE THE PLEROMA.

2. CHAOS IS NOT THE CREATOR IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY; CHAOS IS A CONDITION, NOT A BEING; THE CREATOR IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY IS EURYNOME, ALSO KNOWN AS "SOFIA" BY CHRISTIANS.

>NOT A BEING; THE CREATOR IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY IS EURYNOME

How can Eurynome be the creator if she is the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys?

Also, while some myths place Chaos just as the first thing - being that existed and "just" that, Chaos some times also fathers other primordial deities.

This guy is actually kind of right I think. I don't remember Chaos ever being worshipped as an entity. It wasn't a person. Supposedly the other primordial beings came into existence shortly after it, so we can presume they were born from it. He's also full of shit because Eurynome is a minor deity of little importance in Greek mythology.

>How can Eurynome be the creator if she is the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys?

1. "THE CREATOR" IS THE BEING THAT CREATED THE KOSMOS IN WHICH WE LIVE, NOT THE PLEROMA; THE CREATOR IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE FIRST BEING.

2. OCEANUS, AND TETHYS, ARE THE MALE, AND THE FEMALE, ASPECTED PERSONIFICATIONS, RESPECTIVELY, OF THE AETHER WHICH PERMEATES ALL, INCLUDING THE PLEROMA, CHAOS, AND THE KOSMOS.

3. THE PARENTAGE OF EURYNOME IS FIGURATIVE; THEY ARE PRESENTED AS HER PARENTS, BECAUSE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ONE BEING IN CHAOS, UNABLE TO SEE THE PLEROMA, AND THE BEINGS WITHIN IT, EURYNOME APPARENTLY "CAME FORTH" FROM THE AETHER INTO CHAOS.

THE LITERALIZATION OF OCEANUS, AND TETHYS, AS ACTUAL BEINGS, IS A LATTER CORRUPTION.

>Also, while some myths place Chaos just as the first thing - being that existed and "just" that, Chaos some times also fathers other primordial deities.

QVOD VIDE POINT NUMBER THREE, ABOVE.

>He's also full of shit because Eurynome is a minor deity of little importance in Greek mythology.

THE TRIVIALIZATION OF EURYNOME, AND THE SUBSTITUTION OF HER CREATION MYTH FOR THE MORE WELL KNOWN "OLYMPIAN" ONE, ARE LATER CORRUPTIONS.

I was going to reply to your posts because most of it is plainly wrong, Hesiod gives outright descriptions which counter your idiocracy, the first 5 primordial beings being the first things in existence.

Chaos is the being which comes after nothingness, and is the polar opposite of nothing. From nothing comes chaos.

Now turn your fucking caps off and your trip holy shit.

Seriously, kill yourself.
