URANUS

Uranus is the sky god and first ruler. He is the son of Gaea, who created him without help. He then became the husband of Gaea and together they had many offspring including twelve of the Titans.

His rule ended when Cronus, encouraged by Gaea, castrated him. He either died from the wound or withdrew from earth.

Gaea is the Earth goddess. She mated with her son Uranus to produce the remaining Titans. Gaea seems to have started as a Neolithic earth-mother worshipped before the Indo-European invasions that eventually lead to Hellinistic civilization.
