Gaia/Ge is Mother Earth, the first goddess, the mother of the gods and Titans. She's also a near universal mythological being: the Mother Goddess.
CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
Sources: Hesiod's Theogony, Homeric Hymns, and primary sources found under Gaia on Theoi.com.

0:00.0 | Sing Muses of the very beginning. |
0:30.0 | This is Let's Talk About Myths Baby, and I am your host, Liv. |
0:44.0 | I recently went on Instagram asking for some inspiration on what to cover for the podcast, |
0:49.5 | specifically which early episodes people would like some more information on. |
0:54.0 | Those episodes were not super researched, comparably to what I do now, and also they were |
0:58.6 | some really important stories, so in between new ones, don't worry, I'm looking at redoing |
1:04.0 | them for the better. |

1:16.4 | energy than I sometimes have lately. |
1:20.0 | I've covered all the stories that have big, obvious stories attached to them, and therefore |
1:24.8 | are a lot easier to cover. |
1:26.9 | I've pretty much exhausted those, so now new ones take a lot more research. |
1:32.9 | Plus, I love those early stories, and like I said, I really glossed over them, and I |
1:39.9 | want to do a better job. |
1:41.4 | There's just so, so, so much more to these stories that I've discovered in the years |
1:45.4 | since I recorded those first episodes and the sources I have now. |
1:49.9 | Plus, you all just deserve the dirty details. |
1:54.1 | One of the top suggestions for early episodes that could use more was sort of the beginning |
1:59.1 | of things and the titanomachee, and for good reason, I mean, that shit's messed up, |
2:05.1 | and it's so, so, so much fun. |
2:07.6 | So here we are with an episode on the beginning, the first mother, she who birthed literally |
