Greek Mythology

• Gaya or Gea is the great Mother Earth, the most primitive goddess present in most ancient cultures. According to tradition, Gaya was the daughter of Caos, and in itself she brought up Uranus, the sky, the mountains and the sea, whose personification is the Ponto.

To create the rest of the creatures, he joined one of his children, Urano; and thus the Cyclops, the giants and the Titans were born. However, so much birth exhausted Gaea, that seeing how Uranus imprisoned the giants in an abysmal chasm, she begged her son Cronus to finish him off. Crono used a sickle to mutilate his father's genitals, expelled them from heaven and Aphrodite was born from them.
