The blood from Uranus splattered onto the earth producing Erinyes (the Furies), the Gigantes, and the Meliai. Cronus castrated his father with a sickle from Gaia. Angered by this, Gaia asked her children the Titans to punish their father. Uranus was disgusted with the Cyclopes and the Hecatonchires, so he hid them away somewhere in Gaia. Through Uranus, Gaia gave birth to the three Cyclopes Brontes, Steropes and Arges as well as the three Hecatonchires Kottos, Briareus, and Gyges.

Uranus mated with Gaia to create twelve Titans: Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetos, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys and Cronus. From Gaia came Uranus (Sky), the Ourea (Mountains), and Pontus (Sea).

Erebus and Nyx reproduced to make Aether (the outer atmosphere where the deities breathed) and Hemera (Day). Eros serves an important role in sexual reproduction, before which children had to be produced asexually.įrom Chaos came Erebus (place of darkness between the earth and the underworld) and Nyx (Night). Then came Gaia (Earth), the more orderly and safe foundation that would serve as a home for the deities and mortals, and Tartarus, in the depths of the Earth, and Eros, the fairest among the deathless deities. After the speaker declares that he has received the blessings of the Muses and thanks them for giving him inspiration, he explains that Chaos arose spontaneously.
