OOPS!!

For the not-so-longest time, I have been referring to the first generation of Olympian deities as "the Gaian Generation".

I designed this term to accommodate the origin stories of all the elder gods of Mount Olympus.

However, it just dawned on me that Aphrodite is not actually the daughter of Gaia!

She actually sprung from the sea where Uranus's..."naughty bits" fell after his son Kronos..."cut him off".

Thus, it would be more accurate to say that Aphrodite is (in some way) Uranus's daughter only, not Gaia's.

This would ergo make her (in some way) the half-sister of the Titans, the Elder Cyclopes, and the Hekatonchires.

On the My Mythology Glossary page of this website (under Meet the Creator), I have changed the terminology to "the Uranian Generation".

Gaia, however, is indeed the grandmother of Zeus, Hera, Hestia, Poseidon, Hades, and Demeter...but she is not actually the mother of Aphrodite, as was implied by the previous term and definition.
