Answer 2

Mortals worshiped the gods and the gods honored mother earth. they had all sprung from her, for she was the beginning of all life.

This was found in the book D'aulaires' book of Greek Myths

I got this book from Barnes & Nobels.

Well, the book says that Earth was just there, it never really gave an explanation on how it got there. The book also says mother earth's name is Gaea. And she fell in love with Uranus (the sky) and had babies, the titans, and then a big war happedned ya di ya ya and boom thats how greek mythology started

Hope this helps ;)

Answer 3

There are two creation theories.

1. The elements were floating around. Some creator shaped them into the earth (Gaia) the heavens (Uranus) and all the other primordial concepts/deities and proceeds to never be heard from again.

2. All the primordial deities were born from Chaos.

Things proceed from there.
