The full list of the Primordial Greek Gods: From Gaia came Ourea, the god of the mountains, Pontus, the god of the sea, and Uranus, the god of the heavens. Erebus, the god of darkness, and Nyx, the goddess of the night, were also born from Chaos. Goddess Gaia then followed, t he personification of Earth. Then Tartarus was born, a dark place like the abyss and the original god of the Underworld. We can see that ancient Greeks considered love as one of the most fundamental powers in the world.

Out of Chaos came Eros, the god of love and procreation. Chaos was the personification of the absolute nothingness - an immerse, dark void from which all of the existence sprang. Natural forces are personified and the most basic components of the cosmos are Gods.Īccording to Hesiod, in the beginning there was Chaos. The famous work of Hesiod, called Theogony (meaning “birth of the Gods” in Greek), presents a complete cosmogony. Greek mythology starts at the beginning of the world! The Greek Gods that existed then were the Primordial Gods.
