Creation

Dancing for creations

She molded the wind

Wrapped in it's warmth

The golden egg was laid

Hatched, the earth spilt forth

Perfect and populated

Far above she oversees

her pride of tomorrow

Greek Mythology

Eurynome, the mother of all things in the Pelasgian creation myth, which gets its name from the first human she created, Pelasgus. Eurynome arose from Chaos and immediately divided the sea from the heavens. She playfully danced upon the newly-created waves and turned to embrace the north wind. Through this union was born the serpent Ophion, who then coiled around Eurynome giving his seed. Taking the form of a dove, Eurynome laid the Universal Egg and had Ophion break it open. Out of the shell flew all living and unliving things. At this point the Mother ascended to Mt. Olympus and began to watch her children take shape.
