summary: The passage invokes the Muses to recount the first coming-to-be of gods
and cosmos. It narrates the emergence of Chaos, Earth, Tartarus, Eros, Night,
Day, Heaven, Sea, and divine offspring; Earth and Heaven produce Titans, Cyclopes,
and hundred-armed sons. Heaven hides his children in Earth, Earth creates a flint
sickle and recruits Cronos, who ambushes and mutilates Heaven. From the resulting
blood and cast-off members arise Erinyes, Giants, Meliae, and Aphrodite, whose
honors concern love, desire, smiles, deceits, and graciousness. Heaven names his
sons Titans and foretells vengeance.
