Uranus, or OURANOS (not Uranis) was the primeval god (protogenos) of the sky. The Greeks imagined the sky as a solid dome of brass, decorated with stars, whose edges descended to rest upon the outermost limits of the flat earth (Gaia). Ouranos was the literal sky, just as his consort Gaia was the earth.

With Gaia he fathered the Kyklopes and Hekatonkheires and the Titans; by the blood of his castration the Erinyes, the Gigantes, the Meliai, the

Telkhines, the Phaeacian Race of Men, Aphrodite and Aitna.
