Earth as a goddess, from Gk. Gaia, spouse of Uranus, mother of the
Titans, personification of gaia "earth," as opposed to
heaven, "land," as opposed to sea, "a land, country,
soil," a collateral form of ge (Dorian ga) "earth,"
of unknown origin, perhaps pre-Indo-European. The Roman equivalent
goddess of the earth was Tellus (see tellurian),
sometimes used in English poetically or rhetorically for "Earth
personified" or "the Earth as a planet."
