The Void Short Story

The creation of the gods starts with chaos and from the chaos came the endless gods: Eros, Tartarus, and Gaea (Love, hell, and the earth). Gaea created Uranus, the first ruler of the sky and Eros

It is said that in the beginning, there was Chaos, the silent and dark abyss. Out of Chaos, all things came into existence. According to the Theogony of Hesiod, Chaos created the

In the beginning there was emptiness called Chaos, as well as Earth, Hell, and Love named Eros. Eros was half girl half boy and created the earth named Gaia. Gaia, out of her own fertility, created a male companion named Ouranos, sky (Stone 39). Ouranos and Gaia would begin to create all other creatures of the universe including the massive Titans. Some of their offspring were giant rats and lizards, some only had one eye in the center of their forehead, and others had fifty heads and one hundred arms. Ouranos was disgusted by these deformed creatures and hid them away deep within the earth. Gaia did not agree with this decision and vowed to get revenge upon him. She turned to the Titans for help and promised if one of them would use an adamant sickle against their father they would assume his role as the master of the universe and king of the Titans. Kronos, the largest of the Titans, stepped forward. That same night Kronos snuck up behind his father and cut off his genitals. Kronos raised the genitals in victory spraying blood everywhere. Some of the blood hit Gaia and seeped into her womb (Stone 40). Other drops dripped into Tartarus, the deepest part of the underworld, and created the Furies. Finally, drops would become the Giants of the Earth which would be impervious to death, even by the hands of a god. Although Kronos was now king of the Titans he was told by his mother and father that he would be

In the beginning there was no time or gods, only land and sea. Where the sea meet the land a white mare burst forth from the sea foam, her name was Eiocha. Eiocha soon found some sea-foam seeds and ate them, soon they grew into a child in her, she gave birth to the god named Cernunnos. While she was giving birth her pain was so great that she ripped off a piece of bark that she catapulted into the sea, as it fell to the watery deeps of the sea it grew to deep-sea giants. As for poor lonely Cernunnos he felt that he was outnumbered for the great number of sea giants, he along with his horse-mother they created more gods, their names were Maponos, the God of Youth, Tauranis, the God of Thunder, Teutates, the Protector, and the fertility goddess, Epona. After Eiocha’s children grew into adults she became sad and depressed, while she longed for the sea she finally returned to her life as a sea-mare, and became known as Tethra, goddess of the deep. Soon the gods and goddesses created a paradise like land, while the deep-sea giants looked upon the gods with hatred they declared war upon the gods. After a great war and successfully making the giants return to the sea, the gods turned to the place they once called paradise. It was in ruin, as well as almost all humans were killed, all except for two that Epona had saved and they were charged with recreating the human

1. According to Hesiod, in the beginning there were four primordial beings. Chaos was the first entity to exist, then came Earth (Gaea), Tartarus and Eros . Chaos produced two offspring, Erebus and Night who made love and bore Aether and Day . Earth then gave birth to her son Heaven who would later become her partner. Gaea then through parthenogenesis bore the Mountains and the Sea. Gaea then along with Heaven created the Oceans, Cyclopes and the deities known as the Titans . Heaven fearing for himself after hearing of a prophecy in which his own son would usurp his position among the Gods kept his offspring trapped in the womb of Gaea . This act made Gaea extremely angry and so in order to free her children she crafted a silver sickle, which

In the Greek mythology. “First came chaos, second appeared Erebus who stood for darkness, Love was the brought bringing a new start and order to the world.” They all appeared one after the other. The two gods didn't create them all at one time. In the biblical, God had also created the series one by one.

In the Hermopolis theory of creation, Thoth (the God of the moon, magic, and writing) had eight children. These eight deities were called the Ogdoad. These were four gods and their consorts- Nun and Naunet (representing water), Heh and Hauhet (representing eternity), Kuk and Kauket (representing darkness), and Amon and Amaunet (representing the concealed). It was the unbalance of these powers that sparked the energy that brought forth the mound of dirt (a benben), thus being the start of creation.

According to Greek mythology, the world began as a lonely place with only a god by the name of Chaos. Out of the emptiness came along Erebus. Erebus alongside with Night came from a darker much lonelier and quiet place. Order only began to take place when Love was born and with Love came light which is Gaea, also known as Earth.

Pain, disadvantage, distress--suffering is a part of the daily life of people from all over. Throughout the film, Touching the Void, Simon experienced many psychological challenges that scarred him for life. Personal injury can involve more than just physical harm. Compared to Joe, who suffered physically, Simon had psychologically suffered more than the physical punishment that Joe had endured.

Long ago, when the universe was first beginning, the first beings lived in a void of stars and planets. These beings lived in weak harmony with the universe around them; the men defended their homes from the darker entities that sought light from the stars as energy, while the women made homes in the stars and waited for their husbands to return.

(ll. 116-138) Verily at the first Chaos came to be, but next wide-bosomed Earth, the ever-sure foundations of all (4) the deathless ones who hold the peaks of snowy Olympus, and dim Tartarus in the depth of the wide-pathed Earth, and Eros (Love), fairest among the deathless gods, who unnerves the limbs and overcomes the mind and wise counsels of all gods and all men within them. From Chaos came forth Erebus and black Night; but of Night were born Aether (5) and Day, whom she conceived and bare from union in love with Erebus. And Earth first bare starry Heaven, equal to herself, to cover her on every side, and to be an ever-sure abiding-place for the blessed gods. And she brought forth long Hills, graceful haunts of the goddess-Nymphs who dwell

In 1801, Giuseppe Piazzi discovered what he believed to be a new planet. He named the newfound object Ceres, after the Roman goddess of the harvest. Though, soon after its discovery people started discovering similar objects. Soon they realized that these were not planets, but some other celestial body.

In the third story called The Silence, the author makes a point of the question of slavery being silenced and almost causing America to be destroyed. On February 11, 1790, two Quakers called for a petition to the House of Representatives to put an end to African slave trade. A Representative from Georgia named James Jackson was appalled by this petition. He argued that these Quakers were infamous innocents incessantly disposed to drip their precious purity like holy water over everyone else's sins (81). Another Representative that was angered by this petition was William Loughton Smith from South Carolina, who sided with James Jackson. The Quakers ignored the attack of this petition by the southern politicians. Turns out a petition signed by Benjamin Franklin over the abolishment of slavery was brought up and he is someone you can't ignore and this issue had to be addressed. James Madison under the leadership of the House of representatives quickly formed committees to debate the next course of action even though he tried to avoid the question of slavery. One side was for slavery expanding into new territories and another side was against slavery expanding and wanted it abolished. Unfortunately, no sides would be able to come to an agreement so Madison convinced the only way to keep the country from civil war was to declare it unsolvable and table it for at least 20 years. The issue of slavery was ignored until 1808.
