ALT A preview of the book A Periodic Table of Greek Mythology by Working Classicists. It reads: "Chaos was not a whole lot of nothing, but of everything, a giant blob of undifferentiated stuff. This unity was not harmonious, but a conflict of elements in a legal sense, requiring the intervention of a “god and better nature” to do it justice by separating everything out, sorted into its proper place."
