Who Was Uranus (Oranos)?

Uranus (Oranos) was the god of the sky and his wife was Gaia who was mother of Earth. Their children were the Titans, the giants, and the hundred-handed giants. Uranus hated the giants because they were ugly, so he locked them up in Tartaras. Gaia hated him for that, so she asked her sons to kill him.  Cronos was the only one to try to kill Uranus, and when he killed him he became ruler of the universe. He freed his brothers from Tartarus by killing his father, Uranus (Oranos).    .

Gaia swore she would never forgive Uranas (Oranos) for what he did to her sons, but after her husband was killed, she would never forgive herself for what she had done.    

A Myth About Uranus

The titans were the first children of Uranus.  They were the first gods taller than mountains.  They were meant to be kings and queens of the universe when Uranus or Gaea died.  The six titans took the six sisters to be their wives.  Uranus and Gaea were proud of their children. 

When Gaea had more children, Uranus was not proud them.  These children were strong but ugly.  They had one eye in the center of their forehead.  They were the Cyclopes.  Uranus locked them in Tartarus.  As Uranus pushed them down with disgust, Gaea felt horrible that her children were being locked up.
