Ananke ("anAngee") is one of the original gods basic to the universe, the goddess of necessity or inevitability (aka fate, destiny, or force). She is thought of in the sense of force upon others or working fate upon others. Both mortals and gods alike, have to succumb to "destiny" or "fate", giving into the "necessity", "inevitability", or "force(s) of Ananke". She is married to XrOnos ("Chronos") (also one of the original gods basic to the universe, the god of time. Chronos is snakelike, as is Ananke. Chronos has three heads: of a man, bull, and lion.). Together, fate/destiny/force/necessity/inevitability and time, took basic substance in the form of an egg, and formed the realms we know today (the universe's substance originally was an egg of concrete substance, and the two snake like creatures, Ananke and Chronos, together wrapped themselves around the egg of substance, in order to squeeze the egg into two, and build/form the two basic realms as we know them today-the first half of the egg became the air (Aer), the sky (Uranus-the son of Aether), the gods' Air (Aether), and the Wind (Chaos) and the other half of the egg became Earth's Land (Gaia) and its Seas (Pontos)). Together they, fate/destiny/force/necessity/inevitability and time, orchestrate the motion of the heavens and the movement forward of time itself.
