Gaia

Gaia, Ouranos and Pontos were the first gods. Gaia is greek for earth. Ouranos was heaven and Pontos the sea. Gaia and Ouranos, her brother, got 18 children: Twelf Titans, three Cyclops and three Hecatocheirs. Cronos and Rhea were the altest titans. Ouranos put his children in the Tartarus, the underworld, after having got an oracel. This oracel says: 'Ouranos, one of your children will defeat you and will take your place. Gaia liberated her children and Cronos became king of the gods.
