Ouranos: The Primordial God of the Heavens

# data[].attributes.body
Ouranos (latinized as Uranus) came into existence when Gaea, goddess of the Earth created him parthenogenetically. He then became her husband, enveloping her on all sides and becoming the god of the heavens. He became the first ruler of the universe. With Gaea, he fathered the Titans, the Cyclops, and the Hecatonchires, otherwise known as the hundred-handers. Hating his children, Ouranos confined them either within Gaea or Tartarus. Seeking revenge for her children, Gaea forged a scythe and encouraged the Titans to depose their father. Some myths depict five titans castrating Ouranos, while others depict only one, but regardless, the undisputed champion was the youngest titan: Cronus. It was he who overthrew his father and became the ruler of the cosmos. The blood and genitals of Ouranos fell to the Earth, and became the Gigantes, the Melian Nymphs, and the goddess Aphrodite. After being overthrown, little is known about Ouranos's fate, and he generally does not appear in any texts past his elimination.
