Ch 1

(I did not write any of these they are from the books)

From Hesiod's poem to Nyx, the Greek personification of Night.

There also stands the gloomy house of Night;

ghastly clouds shroud it in darkness.

Before it Atlas stands erect and on his head

And unwearing arms firmly supports the broad sky,

where Night and Day cross a bronze threshold

then come close and greet each other

(Hesiod, Theogony, 744ff)
