A Religious Join-The-Dots Game (for the mages)
"Verily, very first of all Chaos came into being, but then Gaia
wide-bosomed, secure foundation of all forever, and dark Tartarus in the
depth of the broad land and Eros, the most beautiful of all the
immortal gods, who loosens the limbs and overcomes judgment and

He was first mentioned in the twenty-first century BC, and he was the fiery serpent-demon of darkness, storms, and earthquakes. Some texts equate Apophis with Seth, the deity of chaos; however, in other texts, Seth helps slay the serpent.
