Thresholds 1, 2, & 3:
In threshold 1, 2, and 3 the beginning of the Greco-Roman universe was never truly empty, there was nothing but Chaos. Chaos as it was called, was described as darkness and disorder.

Surprisingly, horses and fish, mammals and marine life is controlled by the God of the sea, Neptune or otherwise known as Poseidon. New living beings come into being through reproduction. It can be between animal and animal, human and human, two divine gods/goddesses or gods/goddesses mating with human. An example of god/goddess mating with humans is Hercules. Living things can also come from just the help of divine gods and goddesses. In particular we learned in Parallel myths, after the great flood, the two survivors, Deucalion and Pyrrha got advice to help repopulate the earth. The story goes, they were ordered to “cast the bones of their mother” (Metamorphoses page 24). That being said, Deucalion and Pyrrha repopulated the Earth by throwing Gaia's bones (rocks) behind their backs. This shows how beings can be made out of nothing. Another example is in The Giants, the giants climb and ascend to Olympus to try to overthrow Jupiter. Unfortunately, they are destroyed by Jupiter and their blood is able to soak in the earth. This is enough to create and mass produce humans. Lastly, in the Creation Myth the universe emerged out of nothing and certain organism can be found in different
