Chaos
Chaos is the void which came into being before anything else. But some say that Chaos was born from Mist and that Mist was the first to exist. Others say that Chaos is not a void but a rough unordered mass of things. It is also said that Chaos existed from the beginning together with Nyx, Erebus (Darkness of the Underworld) and Tartarus and that is why some consider Chaos to be as Nyx and Erebus: one of "the powers below the ground".
