THE GREEK MYTH OF CREATION_I A Don Milani 

THE END

Then, in the shape of a dove, she lays the Cosmic Egg&nbsp;and Ophion &nbsp;broods it...

Gaia and Uranus have lots of&nbsp;children: the Cyclops, the Titans and&nbsp;other divinities. Uranus isn't kind to his children and keeps them in a prison.&nbsp;

The ancient Greeks believe that the Earth is flat. All around it there's Ocean, but it's not a sea, it's a river !

And Ophion broods it, until it splits in two and&nbsp;all&nbsp;&nbsp;comes out: the sun, the moon, planets and stars...&nbsp;

And the sun is a chariot: Helios drives it.

After a long time, Eurynome "The Goddess of All Things" rises from Chaos to part sea from sky.&nbsp;She turns the wind into a snake, Ophion.&nbsp;

Rhea is very sad, so when her sixth son Zeus is born, she tricks Cronos: she wraps up a rock and says it's&nbsp;Zeus...And Cronos swallows it. Zeus is safe!

Then his son Cronos overthrows Uranus and becomes the new king. He is&nbsp;jerk like his father, because he leaves his siblings in prison.&nbsp;He marries Rhea and has lots of children.&nbsp;

IN THE BEGINNING, ALL IS DARK AND CONFUSED

He frees his siblings and asks his cousin, the Titan Prometheus, to create men from clay.

After some time Gaia appears. She represents the world and&nbsp;creates&nbsp;Uranus, the sky, and everything is on the earth: the mountains, the lakes, the hills, the rivers and the animals...

But Cronos remembers of a terrible prophecy: one of his sons is going to kill him. It's for this reason, that he begins to swallow his sons
