Mythology[]
| “ | Oranos was the solid dome of the sky and one of the primordial beings from which all life was derived. He was the first son of Gaia and became her husband. Together, they produced the twelve Titans and other offspring that included the cyclopes and hekatonkheires. Shocked by some of his hideous offspring, he attempted to hide them deep in the bowels of Gaia (Earth), causing her increasingly intense pain. To relieve her suffering, she encouraged her son Kronos to castrate Oranos and overthrow him. Following this emasculation, earth and sky separated and Kronos took over rule of the cosmos. | ” |
