Early Life[]

In the Olympian creation myth, as Hesoid tells it in Theogany, Ouranos came every night to cover the earth and mate with her, but he hated the children she bore him. Hesiod named their first six sons and six daughters the Titans, the three one-hundred-armed and fifty-headed giants the Hecatonchires, and the one-eyed giants the Cyclopes.
