Gaea, The Mother of All Living Things Gaea was loved by all, and had many children that loved her back. Gaea was represented as many different things. She was usually shown as a mountain or any part of earth; this is why she was called Mother Earth or Earth in general. She was very loving and never cruel which is why others loved her back. Her first husband was Uranus until Cronus, Gaea’s child, dethroned him. Gaea then married Plotus but did not have children with him. Her only human children were the Titans; she also gave birth to monsters and Cyclopes. Gaea stared in many myths, almost all creation stories. One of them is Gaea, Mother Earth. This myth tells of Gaea before she had children and when she fell in love with Uranus. Another myths Gaea is part of is The Titans. In this myth Cronus the youngest of the Titans (which are Gaea’s children) when he dethrones his father Uranus. Gaea’s legacy today is the same as it always was. She is Mother Earth, and loved by all. When she thinks something is cruel or wrong she gives birth to a monster that is tolled to destroy the thing that made Gaea mad. She is shown as a mountain with an eye or a feature that lets someone understands it is her. Gaea may not have bean a hero or a highly remembered god like Zeus but she did give birth to all living things allowing heroes and important gods to live. Prometheus: Champion of Humankind In Greek mythology, Prometheus was the creator of mankind. The goddess Athene taught him architecture, astronomy, mathematics, navigation, medicine, and metallurgy, and he in turn taught them to humans. Zeus, the chief of the Greek gods, became angry at Prometheus for making people powerful by teaching them all these useful skills. When the gods chose Prometheus as arbiter in a dispute, he fooled the gullible Zeus into picking the worst parts of the sacrificial bull by hiding them under a rich layer of fat. To punish Prometheus, Zeus withheld fire from men. "Let them eat their flesh raw," he declared. In response, Prometheus, snuck up to Mount Olympus, lit a torch from the sun, and hid a burning piece of charcoal in a hollow stalk. He slipped away with it and thus delivered fire to mankind. Zeus, as revenge, tried unsuccessfully to trick Prometheus' brother, Epimetheus, into accepting the beautiful but mischievous Pandora as a gift. Epimetheus, mindful of earlier advice from his brother, refused. Even madder now that his trick had failed, Zeus had Prometheus chained naked to a pillar in the Caucasian mountains. A griffon-vulture ate at Prometheus' liver all day long. During the bitter cold of the mountain night, the liver became whole again. So it went day after day, year after year. Epimetheus married Pandora in an effort to free his brother. Pandora -- as devilish as she was beautiful -- opened the famous box in which Prometheus had shut up all the evils that might plague mankind: Old Age, Labor, Sickness, Insanity, Vice and Passion. Only years later, at the behest of Heracles (Hercules), did Zeus free Prometheus.
