The Creation Of The Gods In Homer's Odyssey

In the age before time, there was nothing, no galaxies, no stars, no planets, no humans, no life. The void was neither empty nor full, neither hot nor cold, it simply was. Then, there were the - and time began. No one knows where they came from, perhaps they had always been there, perhaps some higher being made them. Two of the beings gazed upon each other and became Known as the twin gods, Hyrog and Heim. The other being became Known as Gavit who refused to acknowledge the other two gods. Gavit picked a spot in what he deemed the center of the void and slept. The twins had all of eternity laid out before them and at first, that was enough; the twins were content to just be, eternal and wandering. After a time, however, Hyrog became agitated.

This resentment festered until Gavit had worked himself up into a frenzy. He developed a plot to destroy the newest creations of the gods, their planets. Gavit decided to use his power to subtly nudge the nearest system and send it careening into the newly decorated system. As the gods rested to recharge their powers, Gavit deployed his attack and he watched with malevolence as the two systems collided. The resounding destruction was immediately noticed by the gods but there was little they could prevent as the damage was done. The wonderful planets and moons were now pockmarked with caters; many moons and one of the planets were completely demolished. Gavit, content with his chaos, turned his attention to other systems further out in the universe and had his fun destroying them as well. The gods were enraged at this attack but before they could retaliate, Silic noticed something. She noticed that the third planet in the system had an interesting phenomenon occurring. In a very deep part of the planet, something was moving. This thing was the start of life. It was something that none of the gods had been able to create, but with the chaos of the collision, the conditions of the planet were adjusted just right to allow the beginning of life. In light of this miracle, the gods decided to not draw attention to the wonder as Gavit might decide to destroy it out of spite. Instead, the gods left the system and began to spread their new ideas of creation across the universe. They created billions of new planets, some that could possibly hold life, others that never could. Gavit, while aware of their new creations, felt no pressing desire to extinguish these new planets. Instead, he used his influence to send an occasional asteroid shooting across the universe with the knowledge that, eventually, the asteroid would crash into one of their precious
