URANUS
Uranus is the Latinized form of Ouranos (Οὐρανός), the Greek word for sky. In Greek mythology Uranus (often cited as Ouranos), or Father Sky, is personified as the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth (Hesiod, Theogony). Most Greeks considered Uranus to be primordial (protogenos), and gave him no parentage. Under the influence of the philosopher Cicero, in De Natura Deorum ("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, Ouranos was the son of the personification of night, Nyx. His equivalent in Roman mythology was Caelus, likewise from caelum the Latin word for "sky".
