BEGINNING AND STUFF T HE I N THE BEGINNING, I wasn’t there. I don’t think the Ancient Greeks were, either. Nobody had a pen and paper to take notes, so I can’t vouch for what follows, but I can tell you it’s what the Greeks thought happened. At first, there was pretty much nothing. A lot of nothing.
