Stormbringer -- the arrival of chaos
colours seemed to flicker everywhere over the camp, fiends of all kinds mingled with the evilly beautiful Dukes of Hell conferred with the kings who had allied themselves to Jagreen Lem now regretted it. Every so often, the ground erupted and any human beings unfortunate enough be in the area were either engulfed and totally destroyed or else had their bodies warped in indescribable ways. The noise was dreadful, blending of human voices and Chaos sounds, devil's wailing laughter and, quite often the tortured scream of a human soul . . .Many of the human beings could neigh be told from the Chaos creatures, their forms were so warped under the influence of Chaos
Theogony -- the death of Chaos
The life-giving earth crashed around in burning, and the vast wood crackled loud with fire all about. All the land seethed, and Ocean's streams and the unfruitful sea. The hot vapour lapped round the earthborn Titans: flame unspeakable rose to the bright upper air: the flashing glare of the thunder- stone and lightning blinded their eyes for all that there were strong. Astounding heat seized Chaos: and to see with eyes and to hear the sound with ears it seemed even as if Earth and wide Heaven above came together; for such a mighty crash would have arisen if Earth were being hurled to ruin, and Heaven from on high were hurling her down; so great a crash was there while the gods were meeting together in strife. Also the winds brought rumbling earthquake and duststorm, thunder and lightning and the lurid thunderbolt, which are the shafts of great Zeus, and carried the clangour and the warcry into the midst of the two hosts.
Similar themes of boiling seas, crashing storms and fires.
Metamorphoses -- nature of chaos:
" It was a rude and undeveloped mass, that nothing made except a ponderous weight; and all discordant elements confused, were there congested in a shapeless heap."
Similar themes of confusion of elements and formless masses of 'stuff'.
