Uranus

Uranus means "king of the mountains".
He was the oldest of the gods in Greek mythology, and was the personification of the heavens. Gaea (Earth), with Chaos, produced Uranus and the Mountains and the Sea. From her union with Uranus was born six male Titans, six female Titanides, the three Hecatoncheires, the three Cyclopes, and others. Uranus hated, and feared, his children and hid them within Gaea's body (in the womb of the earth, i.e. Tartarus). Gaea, very uncomfortable with this arrangement, pleaded with them to avenge her. Only the Titan Cronus obeyed her. When Uranus approached Gaea, Cronus sprung upon him and cut off his testicles with a sickle. Some of the blood spattered on Gaea and from the blood was born the Furies and the Giants. The genitals were tossed into the sea producing a white foam from which was born Aphrodite. (This is the most popular of the many conflicting myths about Uranus and Gaea.
