Later writers also named Erebus as a location within the realm of Hades. According to some stories, the far western edge of the world, where the sun set, was the eternal realm of Erebus. She and Nyx shared their time across the world, creating the cycle of day and night.Įrebus was present at night, but he also had his own land. Hemera pushed her parents to the edges of the world. She and her brother brought the first light, although there was no sun yet, and spread it across the sky. Their first daughter was Hemera, the goddess of the day. He filled the space between Gaia and Uranus. Their first son was Aether, the god of light air. Unlike Gaia, their first offspring were also formless primordial beings. The newly-formed universe was shrouded in complete darkness.Įrebus and Nyx came together and made several children. While the primordial deities came into being, Erebus encompassed everything. While Uranus and Gaia were opposites who eventually needed to be kept separate from one another, Erebus and Nyx complimented each other and were inseparable. While Uranus and Gaia, the heavens and the earth, were paired together, Erebus was born alongside his sister Nyx. The primordial deities were the first things to emerge from the mass of Chaos.Īccording to many versions of the Greek creation story, the primordial gods existed in pairs. This also meant that he was one of the oldest gods. While the Titans and Olympians were seen as largely human in appearance and character, the primordial gods were inseparable from their elemental nature. This meant that he did not have a definite form. The Primordial God of DarknessĮrebus was one of the primordial gods in Greek mythology. By establishing the first and most basic cycle, they laid the foundations for the Greek view of natural laws and proper order. Instead, these elemental beings worked in harmony with one another. Unlike many other mythologies, the Greeks did not see the god of darkness as a threatening figure to the god of light. The Greek creation story was relatively unique in that it did not immediately pair off the ideas of light and darkness or make them the same as day and night. Alongside them were born Nyx, the goddess of night, and Erebus, the Greek god of darkness. They were not the only early elemental beings, however. Emerging from Chaos, figures like Gaia, Uranus, and Tartarus laid the foundation for the world as the Greek people saw it. The first chapter will be posted soon! I just have to check my spelling and such.In Greek cosmology, the first beings to come into existence were the primordial gods. Plz comment if you like it and if you want me to continue this one. ![]() Anyways as I was reading it I got a new idea about this story. Hey guys, new story! I was reading this story about Percy being a kickass Primordial, the story is called Son of Rome I believe. This is the story of Lord Eon, Son of Aether and Hemera, Child of the Primordials. Lord Aether and Lady Hemera took the young demigod and made him a Primordial God and was blessed by all Primordials except for a few who betrayed the Council. Powerful enough to challenge the Gods and catch the eyes of the Primordial Council.Īll the Primordials were interested in getting the young demigod to join them. Non ever did because they were not allowed.įor millions of years, they all were saddened until one day, a child of the Big Three was betrayed. For thousands of years, the Primordials have wanted a child.
