In Greek mythology, Uranus, sometimes written Ouranos, is the personification of the sky and one of the Greek primordial deities. According to Hesiod, Uranus was the son and husband of Gaia (Earth), with whom he fathered the first generation of Titans.
The Titans (instead of being Uranus' firstborn as in Hesiod) were born after the three Hundred-Handers and the three Cyclopes, and while Uranus imprisoned these first six of his offspring, he apparently left the Titans free. Not just Cronus, but all the Titans, except Oceanus, attacked Uranus.
Uranus :: God of the Sky. Uranus was Father Sky, the Ancient Greek personification of the heavens and, for a while, the ruler of the known universe. Fatherless, he was conceived by Gaea alone, with whom he formed the primordial couple, thus becoming an ancestor of almost all Greek gods.
Uranus is one of the old gods in Greek mythology. He was the primordial god of the sky and the starry heavens. He ruled the universe, and his name means sky or heaven. Uranus literally was the sky, which the Greeks envisioned as a brass dome studded with stars. He was the husband of Gaia, or Earth and was not only her husband, but her son too.
