Gaía
Titans - Greek Mythology
Gaia, Geia or Gé (in Greek: Ga? A, transl .: Gaía), in Greek mythology, is Mother-Earth, as primordial and latent element of immense generating potentiality. According to Hesiod, in the beginning appears the Chaos (emptiness) and from it are born Gaia, Tártaro (the abyss), Eros (the love), Erebo (the darkness) and Nix (the night).
Gaia alone spawned Uranus (Heaven), Point (the sea) and Oreas (the mountains). She begat Uranus, her equal, with the desire to have someone completely cover her, and for there to be an eternal home for the "blessed" gods.
With Ponto, Gaia begat Nereus: He is a primitive sea god, represented as an old man the old man of the sea. In addition to Forcis, Keto, Eurybia and Talmas.
With Uranus, Gaia begat the twelve Titans: Ocean, Céos, Cryo, Hyperion, Ipeto, Web, Reia, Thêmis, Mnemosyne, the crowned gold Phoebe and the beloved Thetis; at last Kronos was born, the youngest and most terrible of his children, who hated his father's lust.
After they had conceived the titans, Uranus and Gaia generated the three Cyclops and the three hecatônquiros.
Since Uranus was able to predict the future, he feared the power of these sons, which would become powerful, and locked them again in the womb of Gaia. She, who moaned with atrocious pain without being able to give birth, cried out for the favor of her titan children and asked for help to free her brothers and revenge on her father. Of the twelve brothers, however, only Kronos accepted the conspiracy.
Gaia then withdrew the steel from her chest and, with the help of Nix, made the sickle. He granted it to Cronos and hid it, so that when his father came at night he would not notice his presence. When Uranus came down to join his wife again, he was surprised by Cronus, who attacked him and castrated him, thus separating Heaven and Earth.
Cronus threw the testicles of Uranus into the sea, but a few drops fell on the earth, fecundating it. From the blood of Uranus poured out upon Gaia, the giants were born, the Erinians the meliades.
After the fall of Uranus, Cronus ascended the throne of the world and freed the brothers. But seeing how powerful they were, he feared them and imprisoned them again. Gaia, revolted by the act of tyranny and intolerance of her son, plotted new vengeance.
Having assumed regency of the universe and married Reia, Cronos was warned by Uranus that one of his sons would dethrone him. He then proceeded to devour each newborn just as his father had. However, Gaia helped Reia save the son who would become Zeus by hiding him in a cave on a hill in Crete, where he would be suckled by the Aix goat of the nymph Amalthea. He laughed, instead of giving his son to Cronus to devour him, he handed him a stone.
As an adult, Zeus declared war on his father and the other titans supported by Gaia. For a hundred years neither side was victorious. Gaia then went to Zeus and promised that he would win and become king of the universe if he descended to Tartarus and liberated the three Cyclops and the three hecatônquiros.Over the councils of Gaia, Zeus defeated Cronos with the help of the freed children of the Earth and became the new ruler of the universe. Zeus made an agreement with the hecatônquiros so that they watched the Titans in the bottom of Tartarus. Gaia for the third time revolted and relinquished all her weapons to dethrone Zeus.
At first she gave birth to the countless androgynous, four-legged, four-armed beings that connected through the two-headed spine, and possessed the female and male genitals. The androgynes rose from the ground in all quarters and climbed Olympus with the intention of destroying Zeus, but on the advice of Thêmis he and the other gods should hit the androgynes in the column so as to divide them exactly in the middle. Thus done, Zeus won.
At another opportunity, Gaia produced a plant that, being eaten, could give immortality to the giants; yet the plant needed light to grow. Upon learning of this Zeus ordered that Helio, Selene, Eos and the stars did not ascend to the sky, and hidden in the veils of Nix, he found the plant and it destroyed it. Even so Gaia urged the giants to pile up the mountains in order to climb the sky and invade Olympus. Zeus and the other gods remained undefeated, though.
As a last resort, Gaia sent his youngest son and most horrid, Typhon, to exterminate the gods and their allies. The gods were united against the terrible creature and after a terrible and bloody battle, they managed to triumph over the last attempt and progeny of Gaia.
At last, Gaia gave in and agreed with Zeus that she would never again plot against her government. In this way she was received as an Olympic titan.
