URANUS
also known as Ouranos, the Latin Caelus, a son of Gaea (Theogony of Hesiod 126), but is also called the husband of Gaea, and by her the father of Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Lapetus, Theia, Rheia, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys, Cronos, of the Cyclopes, Brontes, Steropes, Arges, and of the Hecatoncheires Cottus, Briareus and Gyes. (Theogony of Hesiod 133)
According to Cicero, he also was the father of Mercury (Hermes) by Dia, and of Venus by Hemera.
Uranus hated his children, and immediately after their birth,
he confined them in Tartarus, in
consequence of which he was unmanned and dethroned by Cronos at
the instigation of Gaea. (Theogony of Hesiod 180.) Out of the drops of his
blood sprang the Gigantes, the Melian
nymphs, and according to some, Silenus,
and from the foam gathering around his limbs in the sea, sprang
Aphrodite (Theogony of Hesiod
195).
