Document Summary
Heaven is on top of the mother earth. Anthropomorphism- the process that which we give human forms to things that are not human. There is no difference between greek gods and greek humans except for the abilities that the gods possess. Ge and uranus had children, uranus hates his children and he believes they are ugly. As every child that was born he stuffed every child back into ge. The children were scared of the father and wouldn"t come out of the mother. The youngest child was not and from the mothers iron she made a sickle. Cronus hid and waited for his father to make love to his mother and when he came he cut off his testicles, he then threw them into the ocean and they floated. The testicles foamed and then was born aphrodite. Aphrodite is the greek goddess of passion and love. Myth makers are not concerned with realistic details.
