Ouranos (Uranus) (Ancient Greek: sky, heaven, pronunciation: oo-RAH-NOHS) (Modern pronunciation: YOU-ruh-nus, YOU-ray-nus) was the Greek Protogenos of sky, Greek aspect of Caelus and the vakha Menel, and son, as well as husband, of Gaea. Ouranos and Gaea had three sets of children: the Elder Titans, Elder Cyclopes, and Hekatonkheires. However, Ouranos was disgusted at the appearances of their latter two sets of children and had them thrown into Tartarus, enraging Gaea and causing her to tell their youngest Titanic son, Kronos, to scatter Ouranos.

Ouranos's blood and body parts eventually caused more monsters to be born, including the Erinyes, who were born in union of Nyx and Ouranos's blood. However, the most well-known child of Ouranos born in this manner was Aphrodite, daughter of Ouranos and Thalassa.
