	'''Gaia''', also spelled '''Gaea''', is the ~~[[Greece~~\|Greek]] personification of ~~the earth, the Mother Earth. She is considered a primordial deity, mother to all living things, with the~~ [[~~Mount Olympus\|Olympian~~]] ~~pantheon counting her~~ in ~~their ancestry. Her~~ [[~~Rome\|Roman~~]] ~~counterpart was '''Terra'''.~~<ref ~~name="ACO"~~>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]''</ref>		'''Gaia''' (Γαῖα, lit. "earth, land"), also spelled '''Gaea''',<ref name="Wiki">{{WP}}</ref> is the {{Wiki\|Greek primordial deities\|primordial personification}} of [[Earth]] in [[Greek mythology]]<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[The Final Weighing]]</ref> considered the mother to all living things. Her [[Roman mythology\|Roman counterpart]] is called {{Wiki\|Terra (mythology)\|Terra}}.<ref name="Wiki"/>

	~~==History==~~		According to [[Hesiod]]'s 8th century BCE poem ''{{Wiki\|Theogony}}'', Gaia created and then mated with [[Uranus]], bearing the twelve [[Titan\|Titans]], the three [[Cyclops\|Cyclopes]], and the three [[Hekatonchires]]. However, repulsed by the latter two groups' monstrous appearances upon birth, Uranus shoved them back into Gaia. Enraged, she forged a [[sickle]] of either [[flint]] or [[adamant]]ine and asked the Titans to take revenge for her. Only [[Kronos]] was brave enough to take it and castrate Uranus, whose blood fell to [[Earth]] and spawned the [[Erinyes]], the [[Giant]]s, and the {{Wiki\|ash tree}} nymphs called {{Wiki\|Meliae}},<ref name="Wiki"/> while his genitals were cast in the ocean and the sperm spontaneously birthed the goddess [[Aphrodite]].<ref>''[[Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece]]'' – [[Discovery Sites: Kythera]]: "Aphrodite and Salt"</ref>
	~~In the myths, Gaia was the first possessor of the~~ [[~~Pythia\|Oracle~~]] of [[~~Sanctuary of Delphi\|Delphi~~]], ~~before granting it to~~ the [[Titan~~]] [[Themis~~]], ~~who in turn~~
	~~passed it onto~~ the ~~god~~ [[~~Apollo~~]] ~~after he slew~~ the [[~~Python~~]].~~<ref name="ACOd">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]~~'~~'</ref> Gaia gave~~ birth ~~to the Titans~~, ~~the hundred-armed Hecatonchires and the one-eyed Cyclopes, but her husband~~ Uranus ~~banished the later two to Tartarus because he found~~ them ~~ugly~~. Enraged, she forged a sickle ~~made~~ of flint and asked ~~her Titan children~~ to take revenge ~~on Uranus~~. Only Kronos was brave enough to take ~~the sickle~~ and ~~he used it~~ to ~~defeat Uranus~~ and ~~castrate him~~, ~~throwing~~ his ~~testicles into~~ the ~~sea which would later give birth to~~ Aphrodite.

	~~==Trivia==~~		Gaia was the first possessor of the [[Pythia\|Oracle]] of [[Sanctuary of Delphi\|Delphi]], before granting it to the Titan [[Themis]], who in turn passed it onto the god [[Apollo]] after he slew the [[Python]].<ref name="Wiki"/>
	*The name of the ~~deity is the Greek word~~ [[~~wikt:γαῖα~~\|~~γαῖᾰ~~]] ~~(''gaîa'')~~, ~~which means 'earth'~~, ~~and poetically 'land'~~.
