head, and a beautiful countenance, but the rest of its body is that of a dragon, tremendous to the view." Now from this passage I conclude that Corybas, in the present Hymn, is the same with Protogonus: for he is celebrated, v.
And as in the above lines the intellectual earth is represented under the form of a dragon with a beautiful countenance; the sensible earth, which is but the image of the intellectual, may with perfect agreement to this fragment be called an obscure dragon, since obscurity is an apt symbol of a material nature.
Now since Corybas is Protogonus, his two brothers may be considered as Æther and Chaos, whose occult union formed the achytypal egg of thc universe: and Protogonus bursting forth from this egg, and by this means dispersing Æther and Chaos, may be aptly represented under the symbol of Corybas destroying his two brothers.

 HELLENIC COSMOGONY-Orpheas' Cosmogony-Theogony
Inventive and two-natured Eros which keeps the keys of everything like the Sky,
In the hymn to "Protogonus" (Eros) and in "Argonautica" by Orpheas (lines 14-17), Orpheas imagines the chaotic mass being like an egg which bursts open and there comes Eros out of the eggshell illuminating everything; that is why everything created by Eros was called "Fanis" (because when Eros first appeared everything appeared, too).
This prehistoric theory is similar to the current scientific theory called "Big Bang" according to which the Universe was created in an unfathomably large explosion which occurred about 15 billion years ago.
