Apollodorus writes that Gaea was the mother of Echidna by Tartarus, although the more common belief of her parentage is of Phorcys and Ceto.There are many greek myths about gods, goddesses, mythical creatures, and everything in between.In Ancient Greece, oaths that were sworn in the name of Gaea were considered to be the most binding.Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Iapetus, Hyperion, Cronus, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Tethys, Phoebe, Mnemosyne, Rhea, The Cyclopes, The Hecatoncheires, The Elder Muses Uranus, Pontus, The Ourea, The Nesoi (presumably), Tityos (see above), Argus Panoptes, The Gegenees, Alpos, Syceus, Damasen, Anax, Python, Nemean Dragon, Ophiotaurus, Scorpius Elara birthed Tityos, a son of Zeus, and he emerged from the earth and is considered a child of Gaea. When Hera attempted to catch Zeus and Elara whilst they were in the middle of having an affair, Zeus hid Elara from Hera under the earth. She mothered Typhon who attempted to destroy the gods and she also set her giant sons against the gods, but they too were destroyed. Although Zeus released the Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires from their imprisonment, he kept the Titans imprisoned in Tartarus so Gaea conspired against him, as well.

With Gaea's advice, Zeus defeated the Titans. Gaea took Zeus and entrusted him into the care of nymphs.

When Zeus was born, Rhea gave Cronus a stone swaddled in clothes to swallow in his place. When Rhea was pregnant with her youngest child, Zeus, she sought help from Gaea. Cronus' castrated genitals were thrown into the sea and Aphrodite was born from the sea foam that was created.īy Pontus, Gaea mothered Nereus, Thaumas, Phorcys, Ceto, and Eurybia.Ĭronus had learned from Gaea that he was destined to be overthrown by one of his own children so he swallowed each of his children born to him by his wife Rhea. Some of Uranus' blood spilled upon Gaea and produced the Erinyes, the Gigantes, and the Meliae. Gaea created a grey flint or adamantine sickle and Cronus used it to castrate Uranus as he approached Gaea to have sex with her. So Gaea devised a plan to get Cronus to overthrow his father. After each of these sons were born, Uranus imprisoned them in Tartarus, causing Gaea great pain. Hesiod also tells that, after the Titans, Gaea bore Uranus six more sons, the Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires. After them was born Cronos the wily, youngest and most terrible of her children, and he hated his lusty sire.Īs mentioned above, the twelve Titan children of Gaea include Cronus, Coeus, Hyperion, Crius, Iapetus, Oceanus, Rhea, Phoebe, Theia, Tethys, Mnemosyne, and Themis. She lay with Heaven and bore deep-swirling Oceanus, Coeus and Crius and Hyperion and Iapetus, Theia and Rhea, Themis and Mnemosyne and gold-crowned Phoebe and lovely Tethys. In Theogony, Hesiod writes about Gaea giving rise to Uranus, Pontus, and the Ourea without a father and mothered the twelve Titans with Uranus.
