Chronological order of these greek myths.?

Can anyone put these myths in order of when they occured? Typhon, Demeter and Persephone, Semele and Dionysus, Prometheus, Pandora, Arachne, Midas, Daedalus and Icarus, Phaethon, Pygmalion, Narcissus and Echo, and Orpheus and Eurydice. If anybody can help me out here, that would be great. Thank you so much

Chronological order of these greek myths.?
I can not really answer these in exacting order. Firstly, it would depend on the meaning of "first". Do you mean "first" appearance in writing... or "first" in historical/chronological order. Even this is difficult, as many myths do not give actual times or dates... But, the broad answer is the first section is from the "Ages of God" (Gold and Silver) and the second is the "Ages of Man" (Bronze and Iron).











Typhon


Last son of Gaia and Tartarus Attempted to overthrow Zeus


Most likely "first" in timeframe








Prometheus


Steals fire from the Gods and give it to man


Brother to Atlas, upstart challenger to Zeus


Chained to a rock, freed by Hercules


Born before Zeus, presumably, but his main story lasts well into the Age of Heros, specifically Hercules








Demeter and Persephone,


Goddess of grain and fertility (Demeter)


Her daughter is Persephone


Persephone is possibly a daughter of Zeus


Demeter is either one of the original 12 Olympians or predates them


Persephone becaome consort to Hades (causing the seasons to change)


Actually, Demeter might predate even Typhon, but the story of Persephone is in the Age of Man, possibly








Semele and Dionysus


God of wine (Dionysus)


Son of Zeus and Semele (or possibly Persephone)








Phaethon


The son of Helios (the Sun)


Killed by Zeus while dirving (badly) in Helios' place











Pandora


Created by Zeus, sent as punishment for Prometheus stealing fire


Opened "Pandora's Box", filled with humanity's evils


Pandora is techincally, the first woman... thus between the Ages of God and Man

From here, we enter the Ages of Man. The stories are harder to date. Midus, is easy, since ther is historical information about him. Orhpeus is thought to have travelled with Jason, thus is later than Hercules or Persus. So, these are not necessarily in correct order. (but I think I got them correct)








Arachne


Mortal woman that challenged Athena's skill in weaving


Turned into a spider








Narcissus and Echo


Echo was an Oread (nymph) who loved her own voice


Narcussus fell in love with his own reflection








Orpheus and Eurydice


Possible companion of Jason and the Argonauts (Orhpeus)


His wife (Eurydice) died and he traveled to the underworld to free her


His songs were so mournful that even Hades was touched


He lost his wife a second time because he turned to see her before they exited the underworld








Midas


Actual king in the late 8th century...


Had the "Midas touch", everythign he touched turned to gold








Pygmalion


Sculptor of ivory statues. Falls in love with his own creation








Daedalus and Icarus


Built wings to escape King Minos and the Minotaur (Bull)


Icarus flew too high, his wings melted, and died

Reply:Hmmm.





I bet Typhon was first, because he was a child of Gaia (Mother Earth), who later(?) gave birth to the Titans. This is the way beginning.





Next Semele giving birth to Dionysus, one of the twelve (post Titan) main gods.





Third, Demeter and Persephone. Again, I put stories about the main gods closer to the beginning.





Prometheus had to be pretty early also, being a Titan. He was a brother of Epimetheus and Atlas. He gave fire to man, so he had to be before the "common man" myths.





Pandora comes after Prometheus, but before he gave fire to man; she is, according to some, the first woman.





The others (Arachne, Midas, Daedalus %26amp; Icarus, Pygmalion %26amp; Galatea, Narcissus %26amp; Echo, Orpheus %26amp; Eurydice) all came much later, during the age of man. I am sure Edith Hamilton gives relationships between various of these myths (e.g. perhaps Daedalus was at the time of Midas).
