In greek mythology, erebus /ˈɛrəbəs/, also erebos (greek Ἔρεβος, deep darkness, shadow), [1] was often conceived as a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness This is backed up by hesiod's theogony From chawos were born erebos and black night. Is erebos a deity or a place The wikipedia on the erinyes (furies) is that they live in erebus
The erinyes live in erebus and are more ancient deities than any of the olympians. The shining aether, child of erebus and nyx, was the embodiment of the upper air, the radiant home of the gods Aether was the brother of hemera, the personification of the day, and in some traditions was her consort as well. The word khaos means gap or chasm being the space between heaven and earth But from chaos were born erebos and black night And from night again sprang forth aether and day, 125 whom she bore after having conceived, by union with erebos in love.
Unfortunately, he lost control of the divine chariot, causing immense damage to the earth and ultimately falling to his death. Ouranos loses his rule over the universe and becomes a deactivated part of the cosmos like the more inanimate primordial deities such as erebos [erebus] and tartaros. I was just wondering because there never seems to be a beginning Greek mythology always seems to start with just there being uranus and gaea with no events before that Is there a beginning before.
