Ouranos
Ouranos
Ouranos (anglicized as Uranus) is the Greek personification of heaven. He is one of the Protogenoi, or "firstborn", the first beings that emerged from the emptiness of Chaos. Ouranos is the Greek word for heaven, and its Roman counterpart is Caelus. The Greeks imagined the sky as a solid bronze dome. He was the husband of Gaea, and he was the father of the titans with her before being conquered by his son, Kronos and the other titans. His Roman form is Caelus, which comes from caelum, the Latin word for "sky".
