Which name refers to the primordial void in Greek myth?

• A. Chaos
• B. Gaia
• C. Uranus
• D. Cronus

Answer: (A)

Primordial void refers to the earliest state of existence, the empty gap out of which the world begins. In Greek myth, that emptiness is Chaos, described as the formless nothingness from which order and the next beings emerge. It’s not a person or a concrete entity, but a starting condition of the cosmos.

Gaia is the Earth, a solid, living ground that represents the physical world rather than emptiness. Uranus is the Sky, the heavens that encircle the earth. Cronus is a Titan who comes later in the mythic timeline, associated with power and time rather than the initial void. So Chaos best fits the idea of the primordial void because it embodies that original, formless beginning from which the rest of creation unfolds.
