Order
Time
Not a history with dates. A mythic sequence, from the gap to the backward glance.
Chaos · Before names
The gap opens
Chaos, then Earth, Tartarus, Eros, and Night. Separation is the first event.
Titanomachy · The first overthrow
The sickle
Cronus separates sky from earth. The pattern of sons against fathers begins.
Titanomachy · Zeus's infancy
The stone in the cloth
Rhea saves the youngest. Cronus swallows a rock and calls himself safe.
Titanomachy · After the war
Three lots
Sky, sea, and the dead are divided. Olympus becomes a capital, not the whole map.
Olympian reign · Mecone and after
Fire leaves heaven
Prometheus cheats the portions and steals a coal. Mortality acquires a technology and a case file.
Olympian reign · The headache of Zeus
The armed birth
Athena arrives in armor. Counsel is now a person in the room.
Olympian reign · The hymn's year
Seeds of winter
Persephone tastes the fruit of the house below. The fields learn a calendar.
Heroic age · Crete
A thread in the maze
Ariadne solves the labyrinth. The hero's exit is not the end of her story.
Heroic age · Ten years
The apple and the ships
A judgment among goddesses becomes a war among cities.
Heroic age · The threshold
The backward glance
Orpheus is given an exception with one rule. He breaks it in sight of day.
