"Genesis" (Greek script: "Γένεσις", English translation: "Genesis") was the Cypriot entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1998, performed in Greek by Michael Hajiyanni.
The song was performed seventeenth on the night, following the United Kingdom's Imaani with "Where Are You?" and preceding the Netherlands' Edsilia with "Hemel en aarde". At the close of voting, it had received 37 points, placing 11th in a field of 25.
The song deals with the creation of humanity itself, with Hadjiyiannis singing about the joyous event that this was.
It was succeeded as Cypriot representative at the 1999 contest by Marlain with "Tha 'Ne Erotas".

Famous quotes containing the word genesis:
“Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing and therefore self-relying soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
