Random information on the term “CHAOS”:
Chaos (Ancient Greek: χάος, khaos) refers to the void state preceding the creation of the universe or cosmos in the Greek creation myths, or to the initial “gap” created by the original separation of heaven and earth.[1][2][3] In Hesiod’s Theogony (c. 700 BC), Chaos was the first of the primordial deities, followed by Gaia (Earth), Tartarus (the nether abyss), and Eros (Love).[4] From Chaos came Erebus (Darkness) and Nyx (Night).[5]
Greek χάος means “emptiness, vast void, chasm,[6] abyss”, from the verb χαίνω, “gape, be wide open, etc.”, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵheh2n-,[7] cognate to Old English geanian, “to gape”, whence English yawn.[8]
It may also mean space, the expanse of air, and the nether abyss, infinite darkness.[9] Pherecydes of Syros (fl. 6th century BC) interprets chaos as water, like something formless which can be differentiated.[10]
Hesiod and the Pre-Socratics use the Greek term in the context of cosmogony. Hesiod’s chaos has been interpreted as either”the gaping void above the Earth created when Earth and Sky are separated from their primordial unity” or “the gaping space below the Earth on which Earth rests”.[11]
