Chaos (Ancient Greek: χάος, romanized: Kháos) is the mythological void state preceding the creation of the universe (the cosmos) in ancient near eastern cosmology and early Greek cosmology. It can also refer to an early state of the cosmos constituted of nothing but undifferentiated and indistinguishable matter .
Translation for 'chaos' in the free English-Greek dictionary and many other Greek translations.
Chaos, in early Greek cosmology, either the primeval emptiness of the universe before things came into being or the abyss of Tartarus, the underworld. Both concepts occur in the Theogony of Hesiod. First there was Chaos in Hesiod’s system, then Gaea and Eros (Earth and Desire).
Chaos was – most Greek cosmologies tell us – the very first of all, the origin of everything, the empty, unfathomable space at the beginning of time. But, it was more than just a gaping void – as its name is usually translated from Ancient Greek.
According to Greek mythology, the original meaning of the Greek word chaos means formless and empty; a void, not a state of pandemonium or utter confusion as we know the word today.
In Greek mythology Chaos was the first of the primordial gods (protogenoi) to emerge at the dawn of creation. She was followed in quick succession by Gaea (Earth), Tartarus (the Pit Below) and Eros (Procreation).
