ABOUT THIS COLLECTION
While many civilizations have invented a mythology to find their place in the world, the Greeks had the most diverse. Before the great Zeus and the other Olympians take the stage, the universe had to be formed. That’s the work of the primordial gods, who are the subjects of our first collection on Greek mythology.  Knowledge about the primordials comes from Hesiod’s poem, the Theogony (circa 700 B.C.).
 
In the beginning, Hesiod says, there was Chaos, vast and dark space. Out of the nothingness came Gaia (Earth), Tarturus (the Underworld) and Eros (Love). Through various marriages and liaisons, they gave birth to the gods of the natural world. Their offspring would be the Titans, and the Titans, in turn, would bear the Olympians. What starts with the primordials is a story of often violent conflict for three generations.
