There should be a link tohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos on the top of the page for other uses of Chaos. (I came here looking for the amoeba genus.19:11, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

I've added a hatnote to the article. But how did you ever wind up here while looking for the amoeba? You surely didn't type in "Chaos (cosmogony)" did you?Paul August☎21:36, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some scholars believe that Tartarus and the windy-gap in Theogony is a later interpolation. Chaos cannot be the gap created after the separation of the earth from the sky. In Theogony first came Chaos and then (probably from this space) Earth and Eros. Earth bore Heaven.Jestmoon(talk)14:40, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that at some point in the past,Chaos (mythology) was merged into this article; however, with some looking, I can't seem to find the merge discussion (was there such a discussion?). There isn't anything atTalk:Chaos (mythology), and while there is a discussion on this talk page from 2006, it seems that the article in question existed as recently as2018, and had its contentremoved from that article, and thenmoved here. I'm not sure I can see what was wrong with the original article, surely the figure in Greek mythology is notable enough to warrant its own article? –Michael Aurel (talk)22:34, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should these things be added?

• The Contendings of Horus and Seth
• Chernobog and Belobog
