MOTHER EARTH – GAIA

Gaia (also Gaea or Ge) is a primordial goddess and the personification of the Earth in Greek mythology. Born from Chaos, she is revered as the supreme mother goddess by both immortals and mortals. Through her union with Uranus (Heaven) and Pontus (Sea), all gods and goddesses descend from her. (Source: Wikipedia)
