World creation

Various mythological stories about the worlds creation:


Greeks:


according to the Greeks the world was originally just chaos and from that came Erebus the placve where death reigns and night. Everything else was pure void.
 Then, love was born creating the force of order. Love made light and day, and once there was created.as soon as light and day were created Gaea (the earth) appeared.
 Then Erebus slept with the night and made the heavens light and the days night. Then night on its own made Doom, fate, Death, sleep, Dreams, nemesis and others.
 Then Gaea gave birth to Uranus the heavens and Uranus became the shell of Gaea and also her mate. they made the three Cyclopes, the three Hecatoncheires and twelve titans. but Uranus was terrible and cruel to his wife and children. He locked the Hecatoncheires in the hidden spots of the earth in Gaea's womb.
this annoyed gaea and she plotted to take care of him. She made a flint sickle and attempted to get her children to attack Uranus. All were terrified of doing so except for Cronus, the youngest of the titans.

Before there was soil or the sky or any living thing, there was only the gaping abyss of Ginnungagap. This chaos of perfect silence and shadow was between the home of fire Muspelheim and the home of frost Niflheim.

When he sweated, more giants were born. while the frost melted more, a cow Audhumbla, emerged from the ice. she provided food for ymir and began to lick at more of the ice.
while doing this she uncovered Buri the first of the Aesir tribe. Buri had a son named Bor who married Bestla, the daughter of the giant Bolthorn. the half god  half giant children were Odin (who became chief of the gods) and his brothers Vili and Ve
