  6. Myths • According to myths, Uranus did not like his children that much. • Directly following their birth, Uranus had sent, or practically forced, his children into the dark world of Tartarus( a dark place beneath the surface of the Earth, also known as Gaea’s belly). • Gaea was furious and was suffering from immense pain due to this occurrence; she had begged for aid from her children to stop Uranus from this catastrophe, but only Cronus had came to her rescue.

  7. Myths • As Cronus came to his mothers rescue, he had sliced away his father’s sex organs, and had tossed them into the sea. • According to another myth, as Cronus cut of his father’s genitals, Aphrodite was born from the foam where they landed. • It is also stated that after Uranus had been castrated, his blood fell on to the Earth(Gaea), and had created the great Giants, Erinyes, and the theMeliaes(nymphs).
