Castration of Ouranos

### Outcome

Ouranos is overthrown and his son Kronos becomes king of the Cosmos; Aphrodite, the Furies, and the  Giants were born from the severed remains; Ouranos curses Kronos so that he would meet the same fate before being locked in Tartarus.

### Target

Ouranos

Ouranos was dubbed the "King of the Cosmos" for a long time. But he treated his children awfully which displeased his consort Gaia. Most of the Titans, with the help of Gaia, overthrew Ouranos making Kronos the new ruler of the Cosmos.

## Background

### The Birth of the Protogenoi

#### Gaia the Mother of All

Khaos, the primordial void, wanting to create lifeforms, as her brother Yahweh did with the Primordial Monsters, used her Dark Energy to create the Protogenoi. The most powerful and most prominent of these Primordial Entities was Gaia, the personification of the Earth, who would later be known as Mother Nature. Gaia birthed the primordial personifications of the mountains, the Ourea, the sea, Pontus, and, the personification of the heavens, Ouranos.

#### King of the Cosmos

Gaia took Ouranos as her consort and together they ruled the entire young cosmos as King and Queen. Ouranos was said to surround and envelop Gaia when they were together comparing them to the literal sky and Earth.

### The Arimaspi and Hecatoncheires

#### The Many Children Gaia and Ouranos

Together Ouranos and Gaia had many children. The next generation of Greek rulers were born from them, known as the Titans. However, not all of Ouranos and Gaia's children were beautiful or humanoid. The eldest of their offspring, the Arimaspi and the Elder Hecatoncheires. They were fowl, hideous, and massive beings. The Arimaspi were the first giants, large entities with one large eye. The original Hecatoncheires were huge with fifty heads and one hundred arms.

#### Locked in Tartarus

Ouranos did not like his children especially the Arimaspi and the Elder Hecatoncheires. He eventually took the monsters and banished them to the far corners of the Void. Gaia was unhappy with how her children were being treated and devised a plan to get her revenge on, depower, and overthrow Ouranos as King of the Cosmos.

## Castration of Ouranos

Gaia uses her powers of creation to generate a massive stone Harvesting Scythe and went to each of her Titanic children to try to arm them. All of the Titans refused, except for the youngest, but strongest of them, Kronos, who sought to usurp his father. Gaia gave Kronos the blade, but in return, he must release the Arimaspi and the Elder Hecatoncheires from their banishment.

Armed with the scythe, Kronos hid from Ouranos. When he returned to Gaia that night, Kronos, leaped out to him and used the Harvesting Scythe to slice off his genitals, flinging them into the Void. Ouranos writhed in pain as his powers drained from his body like blood.

Gaia stepped down as Queen of the Cosmos, allowing Kronos and his sister Rhea to rule in her and Ouranos' stead. Kronos banished his father and his followers away to the farthest reaches of the Void where the Arimaspi and Hecatoncheires remained, Kronos going against his word to free them. After the Big Bounce, Ouranos, his followers, and monstrous children were locked away in Tartarus, the prison of the gods. Noting his deceit, Ouranos cursed Kronos to meet the same fate he has.

## Aftermath

### Consumption of the Olympians

In order to prevent being overthrown by his children, Kronos decided to devourer each of his godly children whole right after they were born. he did this with five of his six children with Rhea, while the sixth, Zeus, managed to escape thanks to Rhea, who replaced the baby Olympian with a rock which Kronos ate, not realizing it was not Zeus.

### Ex Nihilo Beings

When Kronos threw his Ouranos' genitals into the Void, the blood that emerged from the remains formed two groups of Primordial Entities. The Furies, embodying Ouranos' anger, and want for revenge, were formed, and later the Giants, the strength and power that Ouranos lost. Eventually, after the Big Bang, and the formation of the Earth, Kronos' severed remains drifted and made their way into the Atlantic Ocean. The foam that formed in the water mixed together to form the Eternal Goddess of Love and Beauty, Aphrodite who would eventually join the Olympians as Zeus' adopted daughter.
