  5. Story of Chaos At the beginning of time, Chaos was a primeval state of existence. Chaos was the emptiness, a dark, silent and infinite void of nothing with no trace of life. Gaia, mother earth, was the first to appear from Chaos. She created mountains, rivers, lakes, seas and low lands. Then came Tartarus, the underworld, who built his home under the world of Gaia. Eros came last. Eros was love, was the most handsome of all the Greek gods and was invincible. Chaos then gave birth to Nyx, the night, and Erebus, dark silence. They united and made Aither, the atmosphere, and Hemera the day. Family Tree of Chaos and The Other Gods

  6. Story of Ajax During the Trojan war, Achilles, the great Greek warrior, was killed in battle by Paris. Ajax and Odysseus went to retrieve his body. Ajax fended off the Trojan army while Odysseus carried the body away in a chariot. When they returned they both claimed the magical armour for themselves. A competition was held to see who was worthy for the armour. They both voiced why they deserve the armour more than the other. Ajax stated that due to his strength and the fighting he had done for the Greeks, he should receive Achilles armour. Odysseus was more eloquent and was awarded the armour. Ajax, drowned in his on sorrow and furious with the decision, fell on his sword. Ajax and Odysseus disputing Over Armour
