Chart of Greek & Roman gods

(Note: Roman names are shown in blue; Greek names are shown in red.)

In the Beginning...
Father Sky (Caelus/Uranus) and Mother Earth (Terra/Gaia) came
together to give birth to:

The 12 Titans
The 3 Hecatonchires (giants with 100 hands and 50 heads)
The 3 Cyclops (one-eyed giants)
several other forces and powers

Caelus despised the Hecatonchires and placed them in the underworld.

This angered Terra and at her request, Saturn/Cronus (one of the
Titans) killed Caelus by cutting off his genitals. From the blood came the
Furies, the underworld goddesses of vengeance.

After killing Caelus, Saturn took his father's place as king of the gods.
However, he was later told that one of his own sons would someday
replace him. In order to avoid this, he ate all of his children. His wife
Ops/Rhea eventually hid his last son, Jupiter/Zeus, and when this son
was old enough, he released his brothers and sisters, waged war with the
Titans and became the third and final king of the gods.

Through Jupiter and various women (including both goddesses and

mortals), came most of the other well-known gods and goddesses of
Greco-Roman mythology.
