The Birth of the Text and the Concept of Creation

Abstract

In the Genesis, creation emerges from a word, from the act of making or from a hand and the narrator distinguishes the spontaneous creation from the one that takes time. In Hesiod, Chaos is seen as the limit between the known and the unknown which are, for the writer, the corrections. Outside the world, in deep silence, the poet is affected by Chaos and is submitted to other laws.
