He was the personification of heaven and the sky. When Uranus
was born with his other siblings, he decided to banish the
Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheiris into the depths of Tartarus.
Gaea was extremely upset by when he did and had their son Cronus
stand up to him. Using a sickle, he mutilated Uranus, creating
the Furies, Giants, and Aphrodite.
