Theogony 2

'In the beginning was Chaos'

It was the very first of all, the origin of everything. Chaos was the primal feature of the universe and out of this the first primordial gods sprang forth: Gaea(Earth),Tartarus(Underworld), Eros(Love),Erebus (darkness), and Nyx (night).

Theogony 1

“Let us begin our song with the Heliconian Muses”.

The muses were daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (Titaness of Memory). Hesiod claims that they appeared to him once as he tended his sheep and blessed him with the art of poetry and the gift of the prophetic power.

In Greek Mythology, Keres were female death spirits and the daughters of the Night. They had hideous appearance and were drawn to bloody deaths on battlefields in order to feast from the dying soldiers. ⚔️🩸🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️ #WednesdayThoughts #zombies #WednesdayMorning #MythologyCommunity
