| | Uranus |
 | | Uranus, also known as Ouranos, was the embodiment of the sky or heavens, and known as the god of the sky. |
 | | Uranus was aghast by the sight of his offspring, the Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires. |
 | | Armed with a sickle he castrated Uranus, and the blood which fell from the mutilation gave birth to the Erinyes (Furies), the Giants and the Meliae (Nymphs of the manna ash trees). |
