He thought his mother was lusty and sinful.
While her other children loved and respected their mother, Cronus was different. This resulted in the birth of Cronus, who was the original Titan. One night, the goddess and her son lay together. The creation of the Titans was equally as interesting. These two beings were unique in that she created them alone and without the assistance of a father/male. Gaia then created both Pontus to oversee the ocean and Ourea to take over the mountains. She believed that he would help and protect her. To make him happy, she gave him control over the sky and heaven. After spending many years as the only creature, she became so lonely that she created Uranus. Tartarus was the next immortal and known for helping pave the earth, followed by Eros who was the god of love. During the early years, many called her Mother Earth.Īs soon as she arose, she took possession of Mount Olympus and began overseeing the world. Many refer to those men and women as the 12 Olympians. She would become the eternal seat on Mount Olympus where all Olympians sat. Christians use the same term to describe the world before God separated heaven and earth. Greeks refer to this period as the time before gods and goddesses. Mycenean Greeks called her Ma-Ka or Ma-Go, both of which mean Mother Gaia. Her name in other languages includes Doric and Attic, but all of the names mean earth. Though some Greek gods and goddesses have names that scholars later established, Gaia’s name dates back to before Greek civilization. From “ Mother Earth” sprang the starry heavens, in the shape of the sky God Uranus, and from Gaea also came the mountains, plains, seas and rivers that make up the Earth we know today. He was made of Void, Mass and Darkness in confusion and then earth in the form of Gaea came into existence. In the creation myth, CHAOS came before everything else.
Terra is the Roman version of the goddess. Gaia birthed Uranus, also known as Ouranos and the Titans as well as other major figures such as the Gigantes and Cyclopes. Some refer to her as the ancestral mother and claim that she gave birth to all of the elements of the world. Her name essentially means earth or land and shows that she was the human version of the earth. Known as both Gaia and Gaea, the Goddess Gaia is a figure from Greek mythology.
