History:
According to the Greek mythology, mother Earth or Gea, was created in the void. Gea was fruitful, giving in birth to the mountains, the sea and the sky. Then, the sky god (Uranus), became husband of Gea, and they engendered the Titans, one of which was Chronos (Saturn). The Titans were a much more primitive race that their descendants. When Uranus becoming a true tyrant against his own children the Cyclopses or Titans, Gea implored the help of Chronos, who with a sickle, cut the genitals of his father Uranus and threw them to the sea, to remove forever any generative power from Uranus.
