It's interesting that this kind of creation myth is common among philosophers, whether they're pessimists or not. Nietzsche was fond of it in the form of Dionysus getting torn to pieces and his severed members forming the world. Chaos, as a primordial abyss in Greek mythology, was also sometimes interpreted as an irreconcilable gap between Earth and Sky, sometimes even as a gaping wound resulting from some kind of primordial separation. But that's a more rare interpretation, usually it's just seen as either a non-differentiated mass that preceded all individuation or as a soup of disorganized elements (from where the modern term of "chaos" comes from).
