History[]

In Greek mythology, Ouranos is the primordial Greek God personifying the sky. His name in Roman mythology was Caelus and sometimes: Uranus. In Ancient Greek literature, Ouranos or Father Sky was the brother and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Uranus was conceived by Chaos alone, Uranus and Gaia were the parents of the first generation of Titans, and the ancestors of most of the Greek gods, but no cult addressed directly to Uranus survived into Classical times, and Uranus does not appear among the usual themes of Greek painted pottery. Elemental Earth, Sky and Styx might be joined, however, in a solemn invocation in Homeric epic.
