Greek myth has inspired stories and art for millennia. And yet some stories and characters remain unfamiliar.

First There Was Chaosexplores the formless, primordial, and extraordinary forces that preceded the Olympian gods. These tales of Creation illustrate the creative process, giving cosmic form to the universal struggles of all creators.

Framing the narrative is the story of a poet struggling with his act of Creation, hoping to transform nothingness into beauty. His struggles parallel the tales of primordial beings, from the ambitions of formless Chaos to the birth of the first Olympian, Aphrodite.

Based on Hesiod'sTheogonyand other classic sources,First There Was Chaossynthesizes fragmentary myths into a compelling narrative accessible to a contemporary audience.
