The Earth Goddess, wife of Oranos, is who?

The Earth Goddess, wife of Oranos, is who?

• A. Gaia
• B. Rhea
• C. Hera
• D. Demeter

Answer: (A)

Gaia is the Earth goddess in Greek mythology, the personification of the Earth itself. She is described as the wife of Uranus (the sky), and together they form the primal couple who produce the first beings, like the Titans. That role—Earth’s living personification paired with the Sky—is why Gaia is the correct answer. The other names are different figures: Rhea is a Titaness and mother of the Olympian gods; Hera is the queen of the gods and wife of Zeus; Demeter is the goddess of agriculture. They do not represent the Earth or the spouse of Uranus.
