Uranus imprisoned his ugly children, the hundred-handed ones and the cyclops, deep in the earth. This hurt Gaia very much on both an emotional and physical level. She asked her other children, the Titans to take him out and release her children. Only Cronus (Kronos) was willing. She gave him a sickle carved from flint, and with the help of some of his siblings, he castrated his father and threw his genitals into the ocean. Uranus ran off, spilling blood everywhere. The blood made Gaia pregnant and she gave birth to the Gigantes (spear wielding giants that eventually get killed by the gods), the Erinyes (also known as the Furies), the Meliae (type of nymphs - they were the one that raised Zeus), the Telchines (dog-headed, fins-for-hands sea demon blacksmith-magicians that created the trident for Poseidon), and the Phaeacians who helped Odysseus get home. From the genitals that hit the ocean came Aphrodite.

He is still active today on social media and has his own Twitter account: @realCronusTitan
