Greek primordial gods

The ancient Greeks proposed many different ideas about the primordial gods in their mythology. The many theogonies constructed by Greek poets each give a different account of which gods came first.In Homer, Ocean and Tethys are the parents of all the gods.In Hesiod, Chaos ("void", "gap") stands at the beginning, followed by Gaia, Tartarus, and Eros. After these forces manifest on their own, they have children through various methods, including Erebus, Pontus, Ourea, the Titans, Nyx, and Aether. (See Protogenoi)Orphic poetry made Nyx the first principle. Nyx is also the first deity in Aristophanes's Birds, producing Eros from an egg.Alcman made the water-nymph Thetis the first goddess, producing poros "path", tekmor "marker" and skotos "darkness" on the pathless, featureless void.The Pelasgian belief was that Eurynome and Ophion produced the Universal Egg.Also in the Orphic tradition, Phanes (a god of light and procreation, sometimes identified with the Elder Eros) is the original king of the universe, hatched by a cosmic egg.1
