According to the Phoenician Creation Myth of Philo Byblos (42-117 A.D.) based on the 11th century B.C.E. Sanchuniathon texts, in the beginning there was Aer and Chaos. They produced Kolpia (Wind) and Potos (Desire). Kolpia and Potos produced Mot in the shape of an egg. When the egg opened, the sun, the moon, and the stars came forth. In this legend, Ouranos is the child of Elioun and Berouth, the first gods. He is the husband of Gea and father of Baitulos, Dagon, Zeus Damaros, Pontus, El, and Astarte.
According to the Ugarit texts discovered shortly before the 1st world war and contemporaneous with the 11th century B.C.E. Sanchuniathon text, El is the supreme god and lives in the Sad-El "Field of God" with Asheratian "Asher of the Sea" who seems to be similar to Elat and may have been a mother goddess preceding El. His enemy is Baal, a younger god who he wars upon. Baal is sometimes accompanied by Ben Dagon, his father. A similar and possibly later conflict takes place between the sons of Baal and El, Aleion (similar to Tammuz) and Mot. There are also conflicts between Mot and Leviathan.
According to the legend of Mocus recorded by Athenaeus (2nd century AD), Aer and Ether were the first beings and produced Oulomos. Oulomos produced Chousorus and Mot, the Egg. Ouranos and Gea came from the two halves of the primeval egg when broken.
In the Phoenician Creation Legend of Damascius (480 AD), Aer is the son of Omicle (or Omichle), mother of all, by Potos her son. Aer represents purity without intelligence. Aer then mated with his sister Aura and produced Otos, reason.
