The Creation of the World

Once upon a time the Gods decided to bring some order into Chaos. They gave this task to a winged goddess
called
Nyx. She flew about for a while and then laid an egg. From this egg sprung forth Eros, the God of Love.
He created our World.

Karl Kerényi Greek Mythology


Note: Eros has little to do with our modern conception of the word. He was and always will be a very young child,
innocent, generous, beautiful, and absolutely unrelated to Man's greed and barbarity.
