Birth of the Olympians
Passage from the Theogony, by Hesiod, on the birth of the Olympians.
[115] ... and tell me which of them first came to be.In truth at first Chaos came to be, but next wide-bosomed Earth, the ever-sure foundation of all the deathless ones who hold the peaks of snowy Olympus, and dim Tartarus in the depth of the wide-pathed Earth, [120] and Eros (Love), fairest among the deathless gods, who unnerves the limbs and overcomes the mind and wise counsels of all gods and all men within them.
From Hesiod's Theogony
