Myths on how the gods came into existence. They are closely connected to cosmogenic myths. In Greek mythology, the earth (Gaia) came forth from Chaos; she gave birth to the sea (Pontus) and the sky (Uranus). She and Uranus gave birth to the Titans, who in turn gave birth to the various gods and goddesses.
