1. The Creation: A typical reverie where the Earth meets the Heavens and through astronomical thunder, life is birthed.
2. The Four Ages: Gold, silver, bronze, and iron, a declining succession of the world they knew; a flourishing start gives way to savage slaughter.
3. Apollo and Daphne: A hopeless romantic, captured by the beauty of a woman, he cannot live without her and displays the beauty of her by placing a laurel ring upon his head, the crown and jewel of his world.

4. Io and Jove: A girl's innocence, though stolen, still betrays her in the form of a heifer, and only after much begging and pleading from the great god to his wife does she return to her original beauty.
5. Paethon: An adventurous boy seeks his father, searching for truth and reacting to sheer serendipity, do we see a vivid foreshadow to come within the next book?
