This awesome sketch art card of Gaia from Greek Mythology is created by the lovely artist Lynne Anderson for our Classic Mythology trading card set.
Gaia – Greek Mythology – Gaia was the primordial Earth-goddess in ancient Greek religion. Gaia was the great mother of ALL: the heavenly gods and Titans were descended from her union with Uranus (the sky), the sea-gods from her union with Pontus (the sea), the Giants from her mating with Tartarus (the hell-pit) and mortal creatures were sprung or born from her earthy flesh. Some of her children include Uranus, Pontus, the Ourea, Hecatonchires, Cyclopes, Titans, The Gignantes, Nereus, Thaumus, , Phorcys, Ceto, Eurybia, Aphrodite, and Typhon.
Though I know of Gaia as the alpha female of Greek mythology's chronology (no pun intended towards Cronus, Gaia's Titan son), I have heard her name in other mediums, including Heroes of Olympus (the Rick Riordan-authored fantasy spin-off series to Percy Jackson). I used to think Gaia's name (pronounced "Guy-uh") was spelled "Guya." But now I know how it is really spelled.
