Starting Point
Generation 0-1 - Chaos and Its Children
In the beginning there was Chaos. Chaos was a gap of some sort, so it only makes sense that out of a black hole (so to speak), Darkness and Night would emerge. These, named
Erebos and
Nyx, respectively, were the children of Chaos.
Generation 2 Part 1 - Darkness and Night's Children
The mating of these two dark forces, Erebos (Darkness) and Nyx (Night), produced Brightness (
Aither) and Day (
Hemere).
Generation 2 Part 2 - Night's Children
Without sexual relations, Nyx produced a host of offspring on its own:
- Moros (doom)
- Apate (deceit)
- The Moirai (fates: Klotho, Lachesis, and Atropos)
- The Oneiroi (dreams)
- Ker (destruction)
- Thanatos (death)
- Oizus (pain)
- Hypnos (sleep)
- the Hesperides
- Keres (punishes transgressions)
- Nemesis (indignation, retribution)
- Philotes (love)
- Eris (strife)
- Geras (old age)
- Momos (blame)
