Uranus greek mythology

Uranus was Father Sky, the Ancient Greek personification of the heavens and, for a while, the ruler of the known universe. Fatherless, he was conceived by Gaea alone, with whom he formed the primordial couple, thus becoming an ancestor of almost all Greek gods

Since Uranus was such a masculine figure in the Greek pantheon, it makes no wonder that his fall from power included the act of castration. This act, carried out by Uranus' son Cronus, was monstrous and scandalous, but it was also very symbolic, showing that Cronus is taking all the strength, power, and masculinity away from Uranus. #GreekGods #Mythology #GreekMythology #OlympianGods #olympioi #AncientGods #AncientGreece #Olympians #Titans #Olympioi #Uranus
