In Greek mythology, #Oceanus is the #Titan god of the great river that encircled the world, believed to be the source of all seas, rivers, and springs. He was one of the eldest Titans, born from #Gaia and #Uranus.

Unlike most of his Titan siblings, Oceanus stayed out of the great war between the Titans and the #Olympians. With his wife and sister #Tethys, he fathered thousands of river gods and ocean #nymphs known as #Oceanids.

The Six Female Titans: #Theia, #Rhea, #Themis, #Mnemosyne, #Phoebe, and #Tethys.

Who is Ourea

They represent the strength, stillness, and mystery of the high peaks — places seen as sacred and close to the #gods .They stood as eternal symbols of the Earth’s power and endurance.

Who is Pontus

In Greek mythology, #Pontus is the primordial god of the Sea, one of the first beings to emerge from #Gaia, the Earth. He represents the deep, unshaped waters that existed before the seas were ruled by #Poseidon or filled with life.

With Gaia, Pontus fathered many ancient sea deities, including #Nereus, #Thaumas, #Phorcys, #Ceto, and #Eurybia. Together, they shaped the mysteries and creatures of the ocean.

Who is Uranus

In Greek mythology, #Uranus is the god and personification of the #Sky, born from #Gaia, the Earth. Together they created the #Titans, #Cyclopes, and #Hecatoncheires.

But Uranus grew cruel, imprisoning their children within Gaia, which led her to plot his downfall. Their son #Cronus overthrew him with a sickle, and from Uranus’s spilled blood came the #Giants, #Furies, and #Nymphs.

Uranus became the sky itself — the first ruler of the heavens.

Who is Eros

In Greek mythology, #Eros was one of the first beings born from Chaos, the void before creation. He wasn’t the winged god of love yet, but a powerful force that brought order and life into existence — the spark that made the world come together.

In the oldest tales, Eros is pure love itself — timeless, creative, and unstoppable.

Who is Tartarus

In Greek mythology, #Tartarus is one of the first beings to emerge from Chaos, existing even before the gods. It is both a primordial deity and a vast, dark abyss deep beneath the Earth.

Tartarus is described as a gloomy pit, far below even the #underworld, surrounded by mist and darkness. It represents the deepest part of existence — a place of confinement and punishment for the enemies of the gods.

Who is Gaia

In Greek mythology, #Gaia is the personification of the Earth — not just the ground beneath our feet, but the living, breathing world itself. She was one of the very first beings to exist, born directly from #Chaos, the great empty void.

Before there were seas, skies, or mountains, there was Gaia — solid, fertile, and alive. From her came everything that would become the world: the land, the gods, and all forms of life that would follow.

#Eros – the force of love, attraction, and creation.

#Erebus – the god of shadow and darkness.

Hey… I’m Life or Death.
I don’t really see many people around here talking about the old gods anymore, so I figured—why not me?
I’m not some scholar or expert, just someone who’s been walking this path and learning as I go.
If you’ve ever felt that quiet pull toward something ancient, something sacred… then maybe you’ll feel at home here too.

What Chaos Is

In Greek mythology, Chaos isn’t really a god like Zeus or Athena. It’s more like the first thing that ever existed—the vast emptiness before everything began. You can picture it as the Greek idea of “the big nothing,” a formless void that existed before the universe had any shape, order, or even time itself.
