Editing Gaea

Gaea is the personification of the Earth itself. She is the Great Mother of All Creation, giving birth to [[Uranus (god)]] (the sky), [[Ourea]] (the mountains), and [[Pontus]] (the sea) via asexual reproduction. 

She and Uranus then became lovers, and she bore the Titan gods, as well as the Cyclopes (giant creatures with one eye), the [[Hecatonchires]] (literally the 'hundred-handed ones', creatures with 100 arms and 50 heads), the Meliae (tree nymphs), the [[Erinyes]] (the Furies), and the Gigantes (giants).

By her son Pontus she birthed the sea deities Nereus, Thaumas, Phorcys, Ceto, and Eurybia.  

By her brother [[Tartarus]] she gave birth to Typhon, the giant serpentine dragon with 100 snake heads.
