Someone asks what means:


        ante mare et terras et quod tegit omnia caelum unus erat toto
        naturae vultus in orbe, quem dixere Chaos

           - Ovid, *Metamorphoses*

From a translation I did a couple of years ago:

	Before the seas, skies, and surfaces which gird the
	world were created, everything looked the same; there
	was only one view of our earth, called Chaos.

That's not literal, but a literal translation doesn't do much
for you.
