"First there was Chaos, and from Chaos came Night and Erebus (Death). From darkness and from death, Love was born, and with its birth, order and beauty began to banish blind confusion. Love created Life with its companion, Day.

Next was the creation of the earth, but no one really ever tried to explain this. It just happened. With the coming of love and light it seemed natural that the earth also should appear. The poet, Hesiod wrote:

'Earth, the beautiful, rose up,

Broad-bosomed, she that is the steadfast base

Of all things, and fair Earth first bore

The starry Heaven, equal to herself,

To cover her on all sides and to be

A home forever for the blessed gods.'"
