Gaia was created by Chaos, as mentioned in the previous chapter. She had 12 children with Ouranos. These children were called Titans. Her other children (cyclopes and hundred handed ones) were thrown away by Ouranos into Tartarus. Stories say that after the Titans killed Ouranos, she went into sleep. When awake, she would be very dangerous but while in her sleep also she was quite dangerous. It is said that in her sleep she would move. This movement would cause natural disasters.
