Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In the Olympian creation myth, as Hesiod tells it in Theogony, Uranus came every night to cover the earth and mate with Gaia, but he hated the children she bore him. Hesiod names the Titans, six sons and six daughters, the one-hundred-armed giants and the one-eyed giants, the Cyclopes. Uranus imprisoned Gaia''s youngest children in Tartarus, deep within Earth, where they caused pain to Gaia. She shaped a great flint-bladed sickle and asked her sons to castrate Uranus. Only Cronus, youngest and most ambitious of the Titans, was willing: he ambushed his father and castrated him, casting the severed testicles into the sea. For this fearful deed, Uranus called his sons Titanes Theoi, or "Straining Gods." From the blood which spilled from Uranus onto the Earth came forth the Gigantes, the three avenging Furies, the Erinyes, the Meliae, the ash-tree nymphs, and according to some, the Telchines.
