Greek Gods Mythology - the
Creation Myth and the First Deities
and Goddesses
Who were the first deities and
divinities that featured in ancient
Greek Gods Mythology? The story of
the ancient Greeks creation myth
answers this question. According to
ancient mythology life started with
Chaos, the first god and primordial
deity who ruled over confusion, the
void of emptiness, within the
universe. Chaos created Nyx out of
the darkness and they produced
Erebus the lord of the Underworld.
These first primeval, or primordial
deities, in the creation myth of
Greek Gods mythology, were followed
by Aether and Hemera then produced
Gaia (Earth), Tartarus (Hell) Pontus
(sea), and Eros (Love). The legend
and stories of the Greek Gods
mythology continued when Gaia, the
Earth Mother, created Uranus and
they overthrew the elder first
deities producing twelve gigantic
children who became known as the
Titans in the Greek Gods mythology.
The rebellion of the Titans led to a
war between the first deities and
the second generation of divinities
together with the Gigantes. The
Titan males joined with their
sisters (the Titanides) to produce
children who include many who would
become known as the Olympians in
ancient Greek Mythology and legend.
