Then, in the shape of a dove, she lays the Cosmic Egg and Ophion broods it...
And Ophion broods it, until it splits in two and all comes out: the sun, the moon, planets and stars...
After some time Gaia appears. She represents the world and creates Uranus, the sky, and everything is on the earth: the mountains, the lakes, the hills, the rivers and the animals...
Gaia and Uranus have lots of children: the Cyclops, the Titans and other divinities. Uranus isn't kind to his children and keeps them in a prison.
Then his son Cronos overthrows Uranus and becomes the new king. He is jerk like his father, because he leaves his siblings in prison. He marries Rhea and has lots of children.
