Best Answer

The first born of the immortals, who formed the very fabric of the universe, were known in Greek mythology as the Protogenoi (protos meaning "first," and genos"born"). They were, for the most part, purely elemental beings - Uranus was the literal sky, Gaea the body of the earth.

Gaea either emerged from nothing, second "born" after Chaos, emerged from Hydros, or from Aither (Light) and Hemera (Day).

The earth, Gaea, sprang forth from her mother, Chaos, by force of will, and from Gaea came Ouranos, the heavens (the sky).
