This isn't much of a back story and to be frank, the Greeks didn't dwell to much on this myth except for one unexpected outcome of Uranus's emasculation. His severed penis and testicles somehow impregnated the sea and gave birth to the goddess Aphrodite in all her naked, blonde glory.

  • Most Greeks considered Uranus to be primordial, and gave him no parentage, but rather being conceived from Chaos, the primal form of the universe, though in Theogony, Hesiod claims him to be the offspring of Gaia. Under the influence of the philosophers, Cicero, in De Natura Deorum ("Concerning the Nature of the Gods"), claims that he was the offspring of the ancient gods Aether and Hemera, Air and Day. According to the Orphic Hymns, Uranus was the son of the personification of night, Nyx.
