The god Phanes, the Serpent and the Cosmic Egg. Phanes The Neverending One, equated with Eros, Mithras who is also thought to be the Metatron. Phanes was the mystic primeval deity of procreation and the generation of new life.

Phanes the name meaning "firstborn", was introduced into Greek mythology by the Orphic tradition, other names for this Classical Greek Orphic concept included Ericapaeus "power" and Metis "thought".

The Power of Phanes has been depicted as a deity emerging from a cosmic egg,entwined with a serpent. He had a helmet and had broad, golden wings.

Chronos (Time) created the silver egg of the universe, out of this egg burst the firstborn, Phanes. Phanes was a deity of light and goodness, whose name means "to bring light" or "to shine" a firstborn god of light who emerges from a void or a watery abyss and gives birth to the universe. Many threads of earlier myths are apparent in the new tradition.

Phanes was believed to have been hatched from the WorldEgg of Chronos (Time) and Ananke (Necessity or Fate) or Nyx in the black bird form and wind. His older wife Nyx (Night) called him Protogenus. As she created nighttime, he created daytime.
The Derveni Papyrus refers to Phanes: "Of the Firstborn king, the Neverend One, and upon him all the immortals grew, blessed gods and goddesses and rivers and lovely springs and everything else that had then been born, and he himself became the sole one".

According to Aristophanes, whence he is called Eros, he was born from an egg created by Nyx and placed in the boundless lap of Erebus, after which he mates with Chaos and creates the flying creatures.

The "Protogonos Theogony" is known through the commentary in the Derveni papyrus and references in Empedocles and Pindar, which is further eplored in the video.
