Greek Mythology

In Greek cosmology, Chao was the void that preceded all of creation as well as the deity embedded in it. It represented the disordered state of the Universe prior to the emergence of the other primordial gods. Chaos is the progenitor of Tartarus (Abyss), Eros (Love), Erebus (Darkness), Nyx (Night) and Gaia (Earth).
Gaia herself then brought forth Ouranos , the starry heavens and her male equivalent, to be her companion. With him, she gave birth to the twelve original Titans , along with the three Cyclopses and three Hecatonchires .
As for Nyx and Erebus, they first brought forth their opposites in the form of their first two children, Aether (Light) and Hemera (Day). Later, by herself, Nyx would give birth to lesser deities that each embodied one of her traits, such as Moros (Doom), Oneiroi (Dreams), Nemesis (Retribution), Momus (Blame), Philotes (Affection), Geras (Aging), Thanatos (Death), Hypnos (Sleep), Eris (Strife), Apate (Deceit), Oizys (Distress), the Sisters of Fate , the Keres and even Charon the ferryman of Hades.

In the God of War series

Chaos makes its only appearance in God of War: Ascension , where she is seen fighting in the war between the Primordials seen in the game's introduction. The GoW Ascension artbook reveals that Chaos is the female red Primordial who embodies life itself. She is seen fighting Ourea , the personification of the mountains. The blood splashed from her face created the Furies.
Chaos is also mentioned by Gyges in the God of War comics, where she is said to be the mother of Ouranos, who is Gyges's father. However, the tie-in novelization for the original God of War has Athena mention that Chaos was a primordial realm conquered and brought to order by Ouranos .
Chaos is mentioned in the God of War II manual under Gaia's section, with the aforementioned Titan being said to have been born from Chaos. She is also mentioned in the Island of Rhodes hidden website of God of War II, where the first paragraph states that Chaos was "nothingness", and that, alongside Nyx, it created the universe. This was later retconned by the God of War comics and Ascension, which both show Ouranos as the creator of the universe.
The word "Chaos" is used by the goddess Persephone when she states that the Pillar of the World 's destruction would lead to the world "reverting into Chaos". This would seem to indicate that, much like in actual mythology, Chaos was a primordial realm of nothingness and/or disorder. This proves to be true as in the end of God of War III , having killed Zeus along with the other Olympian Gods, Kratos completely reverted Greece back to into Chaos.
