Five Creation Gods

Gaia

Gaia (English: Gaia/ Greek: Γα?α), the god of the earth in Greek mythology, the mother of the gods, the most respected and prominent god among all gods. Gaia is also the earliest god to appear in Greek mythology. She was born from Chaos at the beginning of the world. She was the grandmother of Zeus. Gaia gave birth to the sky, the god Ouranos; the ocean, the god Pontus; and the mountains, the god Ourea. And combined with Uranus, they gave birth to six boys and six girls, namely the twelve Titans and three Cyclopes who represented some of the first things in the original world (sun, time, justice, memory, etc.). Three Hekatonchires. She also gave birth to the Giants and the three white oak goddesses Melia alone. It is said that Erinyes, the goddess of revenge, was also born to her. She had five children with Pentheus, each representing a different sea. She is considered the mother of the gods (the ancestor of the Olympian gods). She bore Tartarus her youngest child, Typhon. She is the most important of the five creation gods, but at the same time she also tried to overthrow Zeus with the power of her children, but failed, but she was still highly respected and gave some weapons to the gods. To this day, Westerners still often refer to the earth as "Gaia". Gaia's status in the West is somewhat similar to that of Nuwa in the East. The difference is that Nuwa created humans, while Gaia created the gods, and can be said to be the originator of human beings in the West

One of the five creation gods, he can be said to be the creator of hell and the underworld, and the essence of the abyss. He was born after Gaia on the earth, at the lower end of the earth, and later gave birth to Gaia's youngest son, the monster Typhon. It is an invisible abyss located at the bottom of the world. It is the place where demons, monsters and some gods are imprisoned. Zeus imprisoned some Titans in Tartarus. Rather than saying that it is an abstract abyss, it is better to say that it is the origin of hell in Greek mythology and the carrier of the underworld.
