A spunky, feminist take on the myth of Gaia, the Greek goddess of the
Earth
Long before the age of the Olympian gods, Gaia created the world in all
its beauty. But from Gaia also came the Titans, who ran wild and free
through this world--until her husband Ouranos turned on Gaia and
declared himself the ruler of all she'd created. Her son Cronus then
rose to power, but soon he too became hungry for more power--so much so
that he swallowed his own children. But Gaia managed to hide the
youngest son, Zeus, from Cronus. Zeus grew up and defeated Cronus and
saved his brothers and sisters. Gaia thought this would be the end of
all the needless war, but Zeus was not satisfied--he swore to rid the
world of anyone who challenged his power. Gaia was furious. She wanted
no part in the world of Zeus. She would not fight his destruction with
more destruction. It might be too late for Zeus, but it wasn't too late
for the mortals--or for the earth itself. Follow the goddess of earth
through her struggles with gods and mortals as she discovers her
strength and eventually finds the peace she has always longed for.
