All Greek gods are the offspring or descendants of the first two gods, Uranus and Gaia. Uranus’ name means “sky” and Gaia’s name means “earth”. Uranus and Gaia had two children, Cronos and Rhea, who were the first Titans.
Cronos and Rhea then had six children, of which four were the first Olympian gods (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, and Demeter) and two went on to live away from Olympus but often would visit or be part of life there (Hades and Hestia).
While these are the main elements of the Greek god’s chart, let’s briefly look at each of them to get a taste of that famed humanity, flawed and exulted, that can be represented by them.
