In the Greek version of how the world began, it starts off with the goddess of all things, Eurynome, rising naked from Chaos. But when she rose, she found nothing to stand her feet on, so she divided sea from sky. She then did not have a place to rest, so she danced upon the waves to the south to warm herself. The winds followed her as she danced, and she caught the north wind and turned it into a huge serpent. The serpent coiled around her and Eurynome soon became pregnant. She, Eurynome, then turned herself into a white dove and laid her egg. The serpent kept the egg warm until it hatched. The egg then brought forth the Sun, Moon, planets, stars, Earth with its valleys and mountains, streams and lakes, and all the living creatures, including humans. Eurynome made her home on Mt. Olympus with the serpent. But soon the serpent claimed he was the author of the universe. This enraged Eurynome and she banished him to a dark cave miles below the Earth. She created seven planetary powers, each suited with a god and goddess. Cronus and Rhea, the rulers of Earth, then became the parents of Zeus. Zeus, and other family members, then killed/banished* Cronus and Rhea. Zeus then became an important part of Greek Mythology.
