法涅斯（Phanes，古希腊语：Φάνης），亦名为原始神（Protogonos，古希腊语：Πρωτογόνος，英译：“First-born”，英译：primeval god；汉译：“初生”。），乃为神秘古老的生育新生代之神，祂是由俄耳甫斯教传入希腊神话中的神明，祂的别名在古典希腊时期的俄耳甫斯宗教观中为厄利克帕奥（Ericapaeus，Ἠρικαπαῖος或是Ἠρικεπαῖος，英译：“power”，汉译：“力量”。）与墨提斯（英译：“thought”，汉译：“思想”。）来代表。

In Greek mythology, the primordial deities are the first gods and goddesses born from primordial Chaos or from Chronos and Ananke (depending on the source). Hesiod's first are Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus, Eros and Nyx. The primordial deities Gaia and Uranus give birth to the Titans. The Titan god Cronus and Rhea give birth to Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Hera and Demeter who overthrow the Titans. The warring of the gods ends with the reign of Zeus.
