The myth of the beginning of the World (the myth of ancient Greece)
Once upon a time, there was nothing in the universe but dark and gloomy Chaos.
And then the Earth appeared out of Chaos – the goddess Gaia, powerful and beautiful.
She gave life to everything that lives and grows on her.
And everyone has called her their mother ever since.
The Great Chaos also gave birth to the gloomy Darkness Erebus and the black Night Nyuktu and ordered them to guard the Earth.
It was dark on Earth at that time and gloomy.
So it was until Erebus and Nyukta got tired of their hard, permanent work.
Then they gave birth to the eternal Light Ether and the joyful shining Day Gemera.
And so it has gone since then.
The night guards peace on Earth.
As soon as she lowers her black veils, everything is plunged into darkness and silence.
And then it is replaced by a cheerful, shining Day, and everything becomes bright and joyful.
Deep underground, as deep as you can imagine, a terrible Tartarus was formed.
Tartarus was as far from the Earth as the sky, only on the reverse side.
There was eternal darkness and silence…
And above, high above the Earth, stretches the endless Sky Uranus.
The god Uranus began to reign over the whole world.
He took the beautiful goddess Gaia – Earth as his wife.
Gaia and Uranus had six daughters, beautiful and wise, and six sons, mighty and formidable titans, and among them the majestic titan Oceanus and the youngest – the cunning Cronus.
And then six terrible giants were born to Mother Earth at once.
Three giant cyclops with one eye in their foreheads could frighten anyone who just looked at them.
But even more terrifying were the other three giants, real monsters.
Each of them had 50 heads and 100 hands.
And they were so terrible to look at, these hundred armed giants of Hecatonheira, that even the father himself, the mighty Uranus, was afraid of them and hated them.
So he decided to get rid of his children.
He imprisoned the giants deep in the bowels of their mother Earth and did not allow them to come out into the light.
The giants were rushing about in the deep darkness, they wanted to break out, but they did not dare to disobey the order of their father.
It was also hard for their mother Earth, she suffered very much from such an unbearable burden and pain.
Then she called her Titan children and asked them to help her.
"Rise up against your cruel father –" she urged them, " if you donot take away his power over the world now, he will destroy us all.
But no matter how much Gaia tried to persuade her children, they did not agree to raise their hand against their father.
Only the youngest of them, the ruthless Kron, supported his mother, and they decided that Uranus should no longer reign in the world.
And then one day Cronus attacked his father, wounded him with a sickle and took away his power over the world.
The drops of Uranus ' blood that fell to the ground turned into monstrous giants with snake tails instead of legs and vile, disgusting erinias, who had snakes writhing instead of hair on their heads, and in their hands they held lighted torches.
They were terrible deities of death, strife, revenge and deceit.
Now the powerful, implacable Kron, the god of Time, has reigned in the world.
He took the goddess Rhea as his wife.
But there was no peace and harmony in his kingdom either.
The gods quarreled among themselves and deceived each other.
