How creation started according to mythology?

Answer 1

There are several different theories surrounding the Beginning of Time. The Pelasgian Creation Myth, the Homeric and Orphic Creation Myth, the Olympian Creation Myth, and then two less common Philosophical Creation Myths. My favorite is the Pelasgian Creation Myth. This specific creation myth details the emerging of Eurynome (the Goddess of All Things) from Chaos and her subsequent construction of the universe through dance. Soon she rolled her hands together and forged Ophion, the great serpent. Eurynome continued to dance and Ophion grew lustful. He impregnated her with help from the fertilizing North Wind. She then laid the Universal Egg, out of which came all things that exist (her children): sun, moon, planets, stars, the earth, and all living creatures. Eurynome made her home on Mount Olympus (and kicked Ophion out for claiming to be the Author of the Universe), and she created the seven planetary powers (with a Titan and Titaness to rule over each).
