And drawing closer unto the Antipode, the Eidos spoke with a dreadful hiss, saying: “I am Eidos, Lord of Chaos, ruler of the great Abyss. Mindless Purposer and Thoughtless Creator have I become, spewing out from all my depths the matter unformed; creating through violent fury the cosmos which you see.
See: Eidos, Yaldabaoth
Summary: The “Lord of Chaos” is a title designating Yaldabaoth, the Chief Demiurge and Nemesis of God. There is a single exception in which the title is first used by the oracle-empowered Eidos (5:6:33). In this case, the Eidos introduces himself to the Antipode as the “Lord of Chaos”. After eternities of schooling in the Abyss under the tutelage of the Eidos, and conflict with the Azraella Ahgendai, the Antipode eventually turned on his teacher, to steal the oracle of beingness from the Eidos and declare himself forever after as Yaldabaoth, the Chief Demiurge and Lord of Chaos (5:9:50—5:10:18).
