Best Answer

Uranus is the oldest Greek god. Gaea is the oldest Greek Goddess.

But both of them trace lineage back to a group of gods called the Protogenoi, or Primordial gods. The oldest, the god from which all other gods come is Khaos (Chaos). It was from Chaos that Nyx, Gaea, Erebos, Tartarus and Eros were born via Pathenogenesis. Unlike Nyx, who is associated as female, Chaos is given no gender.

The earliest recorded Gods (religious history predates this but as no written records exist, we can only theorise), were An and Ninhursag from Sumerian mythology. An was the sky god, and Ninhursag the earth and mother goddess.

The most powerful Greek god was obviously Zeus. He was the god of the sky and he was highest and most powerful of the gods.
