Uranus (mythology), in Greek mythology, the god of the heavens and husband of Gaea, the goddess of the Earth. Uranus was the father of the Titans, the Cyclops, and the 100-handed giants. The Titans, led by their ruler, Cronus, dethroned and mutilated Uranus, and from the blood that fell upon the Earth sprang the three Erinyes, or Furies, who avenge crimes of patricide and perjury. Although Uranus may have been worshipped as a god by earlier inhabitants of Greece, he was never an object of worship by the Greeks of the historical period. In its Greek form his name is spelt Ouranos.
