In Greek mythology, Gaia (pronounced /ˈɡeɪə/ or /ˈɡaɪə/; Ancient Greek: Γαῖα, Gaîa, a poetic form of Γῆ, meaning ‘land’ or ‘earth’) is the personification of the Earth. Also known as Gaea (/ˈdʒiːə/), she is considered the ancestral mother of all life, sometimes through parthenogenesis. Gaia is the mother of Uranus (the Sky), and their union produced the Titans, Cyclopes, and Giants. She also gave birth to Pontus (the Sea), with whom she bore the ancient sea gods. In Roman mythology, her counterpart is Terra.
