First sentence: IN thinking of the origin of the world in which they lived, the Greeks for the most part, it would appear, were satisfied with the explanation given by the poet Hesiod,-that in the beginning the world was a great shapeless mass or chaos, out of which was fashioned first the spirit of love, Eros (Cupid), and the broad-chested earth, Gaea; then Erebos, darkness, and Nyx, night.
