Love Gaia: ~ The Diary Directive

Product Information

According to little-known myth, Elaea was an accomplished athlete from Attica who was killed by her fellow athletes, because they had grown envious of her and her skills; but Gaia turned her into an olive tree as a reward, for Athena's sake. [33] Gaia also turned the young Libanus into rosemary when he was killed by impious people. [34] Aristaeus, the rustic god of bee-keeping, cheese-making, hunting, and olive growing was also said by some to have been born directly from Gaia when Uranus was dismembered.

More often than not, a mother goddess is identified with a full-figured woman, as seen in the Woman of Willendorf statue, or the Seated Woman of Çatalhöyük figurine.

Hesiod, Theogony 116–122 states that Gaia, Tartarus and Eros come after Chaos, but this does not necessarily mean they the offspring of Chaos. Gantz, pp. 4–5 writes that, "[w]ith regard to all three of these figures—Gaia, Tartaros, and Eros—we should note that Hesiod does not say they arose from (as opposed to after) Chaos, although this is often assumed". Hard 2004, p. 23 says that "[a]lthough it is quite often assumed that all three are born out of Chaos as her offspring, this is not stated by Hesiod nor indeed implied, governed by the same verb geneto ('came to be'). Gaia, Tartaros and Eros are best regarded as being primal realities like Chaos that came into existence independently of her". Similarly, Caldwell, pp. 3, 35 says that the Theogony "begins with the spontaneous appearance of Chaos, Gaia, Tartaros, and Eros (116–122). By their emergence from nothing, without sources or parents, these four are separated from everything that follows." Many of the daemones were also born from Gaia. Not to be confused with later ideas of demons, these spirits were the personifications of emotions, abstract ideas, and specific virtues. The stability of life and its consistent ability to self-regulate and protect earth’s creatures connotes a universe much more intelligent than previously imagined. a b Yool A, Shepherd J, Bryden H, Oschlies A (2009).

The biggest strain between the couple happened when the Hecatonchires and the Cyclopes were born. Uranus hated them openly.
