The Origins of Everything

Imagine a world starting from a vast emptiness called Chaos.

This wasn't just a space but the seed from which the universe sprouted. Before science offered the Big Bang theory, the ancient Greeks believed everything began with Chaos.

The first entities, Erebus and Nyx, emerged from this void, representing darkness and night. It's a challenging concept: a time before time, where even the concept of 'before' didn't exist because time hadn't been created yet.

Following Erebus and Nyx, more primal beings like Gaia (the Earth) and Tartarus (a deep, dark pit) appeared.
