- Greek Creation Story
- Both
- Judeo-Christian Tradition
- Gaia, Eros, and Tartaros emerged from Chaos. Chaos represents nothingness.
- Both stories have an origin from a single being.
- God created the universe and separated the light from the darkness. God is an active creator.
- Ouranos was born from Gaia. The sky is a being of his own.
- The sky is one of the earliest parts of the world that was made.
- God created the sky and separated it from the water. God is the only sentient being.
- Ouranos and Gaia had many children. Ouranos imprisoned his children underground in Gaia's womb. Ouranos creates life through reproduction but does not want new life!
- The earth began to take shape: bodies of water and landforms.
- God separated land from water and caused plants to grow. God has the power to create life at will.
- Kronos castrated Ouranos with a sickle and takes power from his father, the sky. The sky remains, but Ouranos has lost his power to his son.
- Both stories show a stark shift in the sky. There is the transfer of power from father to son in the Greek myth, and in the Judeo-Christian tradition, dark and light are regulated.
- God created the moon and the sun so there would be night and day. The sky now has times for darkness and times for daylight.
- Kronos fears losing power. He eats his own children to prevent them from defeating him.
- Both Kronos and God show they are preparing for the future; Kronos is trying to ensure his power remains, and God is providing food and living areas for animals.
- God created sea creatures and birds. After God has prepared the world with habitats and food, he creates animal life.
- Zeus triumphs over Kronos with the help of Giants and reigns as king of the gods. The creation of animal and human life is not addressed in this story.
- The world as we know it was finally finished and fully formed.
- God created domesticated animals and humans. Humans were granted control of the world in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
