*The three elder and original Cyclops: giants with one eye: Brontes, Steropes, and Arges. Mother Goddess Gaia does however ultimately take a husband and sexually mate - with her son Uranus (representing the sky or of the sky). Asexual reproduction is reproduction without benefit of a partner, usually termed parthenogenesis. Later on down the track Chaos formed other siblings in the form of Eros (representing desire/energy) and Tartarus (the underworld).Īsexually, Mother Goddess Gaia gave rise to her two sons Uranus (Ouranos) and Pontus and the ten Ourea (Aitna, Athos, Helikon, Kithairon, Nysos, Olympus 1, Olympus 2, Oreios, Parnes, and Tmolus). On the biological as opposed to the planetary side of things, Mother Goddess Gaia (representing the Earth, or of the Earth) had siblings called Nyx (which represented night), and Erebos (representing underground darkness). Chaos as a formless void would have to via natural physical processes form independently Planet Earth first before the arrival of the Mother Goddess that would represent Planet Earth, Tellus or Terra, alternative names by which Planet Earth is known. We need to separate the two concepts (Gaia as Earth (the planet) and Gaia the Mother Goddess). However, Gaia (Terra in the Roman pantheon) was also considered to be the daughter of Chaos, a mother goddess. Gaia as Planet Earth is obviously a physical product, a natural creation of the cosmos. Planet Earth was known as Gaia (or Gaea). Chaos might just as well have been their shorthand for explaining life, the universe and everything the creation of life, the universe and everything, and probably was.Ĭhaos gave rise to Planet Earth, among other cosmic attributes, like darkness and energy. Chaos was neither a deity nor a personality, just an all encompassing dark void, lifeless matter with no distinguishing features which is as good a view of the cosmos as any by the ancients. In the beginning there was Chaos according to ancient Greek mythology. The ultimate stories behind Mother Goddess Gaia’s reproductive abilities centre around two rival alliances of various extraterrestrial races battling over Planet Earth, or at least their allocated part of it – Italy, Greece and the islands of the Aegean Sea. What did they know that we don’t today? What’s the alternative? Aliens - a misinterpretation of what was actually extraterrestrial activity. The ancient Greeks didn't interpret Mother Goddess Gaia and her offspring as make-believe. And that’s just the point – it wasn’t written to be read as fiction. No writer of mythology as fiction even back then would make such a fundamental error if he wanted his fiction to be credible. Her reproductive skills are akin to a human female giving birth not only to humans but to all sorts of other animals and even numerous monstrosities. The asexual and sexual reproductive biological skills of the ancient Greek Mother Goddess Gaia is impossible as related.
