Gaia, exhausted by repeated strenuous labor and angered by Uranus' tyranny, supplied her son a sickle with which to castrate his father, her husband. Mother Earth proceeded to devour Uranus's dismembered parts. The blood pouring from this violent deed fertilized the goddess, impregnating her with the Furies and the Giants.
