Gaea and Uranus gave birth to 

three Cyclopes and three 

Hundred-Handed Giants, but 

because of Uranus's fear of 

them, he bound them and 

hurled them deep into earth, 

with his six children landing 

Tartarus. 

Next Gaea and Uranus had thirteen titans, 

Helios, Selene, Oceanus, Prometheus, 

Rhea, Atlas, Themis, Cronus, and 

Epimitheus. Because of what he did to 

their previous children, Gaea pleaded to 

her children to take revenge upon their 

father, but again because of fear, all of 

them ignored her, except Cronus. Cronus 

then promised Gaea he would rescue her 

children after overtaking his father. Gaea 

then sent Cronus to use a flint sickle to 

hurt Uranus. 

At nightfall Cronus emasculated his 

father, and because he had lost so 

much of his power, Uranus stepped 

down and Cronus took rein. Gaea then 

pleaded for Cronus to rescue her 

children in Tartarus, but like his father, 

Cronus too was scared of these children 

and did not keep his promise to Gaea. 

Gaea then prophesized that like Cronus had 

to his father, one day Cronus's son would 

overtake him too. Soon Cronus married 

Rhea, and together they started having 

children, but because of Gaea's prophecy 

every child that Rhea would give birth to, 

Cronus would take and swallow, so that they 

could not overtake him like he did his father, 

and Gaea's prophecy would not come true. 

However, together Rhea and Gaea came up 

with a plan to trick Cronus by replacing his 

son with a rock and allowing him to swallow 

the rock, and the son be safe.
