Theogonia Θεογονία the creation of the gods and cosmogony κοσμογονία the creation of the cosmos.
First there was only Chaos (meaning both chaos and void). Chaos gave birth to Erebus (darkness), Nyx (night) and Gaia (earth).Gaia gave birth to Uranus (sky) and Uranus with Gaia gave birth to Cronus the father of Gods and Rhea (the constant flow) the mother of Gods. They gave birth to 6 of the 12 Olympians [the other six were children of one or two of the first six or in the case of Aphrodite (meaning ''risen from the foam'') she was born when Cronus cut off Uranus' genitals and threw them into the sea, and from the aphros (sea foam) arose Aphrodite!].
The first 6 were Zeus (king of the Gods), Poseidon (lord of sea and earthquakes), Hades (meaning hell), Hera (queen of the Gods), Demeter (goddess of agriculture, nature and the seasons) and Hestia (meaning ''house'' the goddess of home).
Erebus, Nyx, Gaia, Uranus were the Protogenoi, the first-born [there were also others like Tartarus(the abyss), Eros (love),children of the night(Nyx) : Oneiroi (dreams) Nemesis (retribution) and Geras (to get old,aging), Chronos (meaning ''time'' or ''father time'')]
Cronus and Rhea were Titans [others: Hyperion (meaning the High-One), Oceanus, Mnemosyne (meaning memory hence mnemonic), Themis (meaning law of nature), Atlas (who supported the heavens in his back), Prometheus (meaning ''forethought'' who gave the gift of fire to the humans and also gave birth to the first man Deukalion]
The Titans fought with the 12 Olympians in an epic battle called Titanomachy, the war of the Titans and and were defeated.
The first woman was Pandora (meaning ''having all the gifts'' "all-endowed") and was created by all of the Gods (the Olympians). Each god gave her unique gifts. Pandora had a daughter with Epimetheus (meaning ''hindsight", brother of Prometheus) called Pyrrha. Deukalion and Pyrrha [after building an arc to escape the Great fload caused by Zeus to end the bronze age] gave birth to Hellen (meaning ''Greek'') the patriarch of Greeks.
