In the Greek creation myth, Gaea, the Earth, and her son Cronus rebelled against Uranus, the sky, because he imprisoned their other children, the Titans, in Tartarus, causing great pain to Gaea. To enact their rebellion, Gaea crafted a sickle and encouraged Cronus to castrate Uranus during a night when he descended to lie with her. This act not only freed the Titans but also resulted in the birth of new deities and the eventual rise of Cronus as the ruler of the cosmos.
