CHAOS is often mentioned in the history of the Gods, but seems only to have
had a momentary reign. He is the most ancient of all, for he presided over
the elements that composed the universe. He is usually represented at the
moment that he assigned to each element its place. To create the light of
day, he repelled all the dark and thick clouds, and then formed the zodiac,
glittering with stars above his head.

The poetic idea of Chaos is found in sacred history, in the creation, as
well as in all mythology, where we see the names of Bramah, Vishnu, and
Siva.
