Γαῖα (Gaia) was the goddess or personification of Earth

Gaia, according to greek myths, is the earth. So her special talents would be what ever the earth does... tsunamis, volcanoes,wind,rain. The greek gods my controll them but Gaia makes them possible. Oh and she is the mother of all Titans, gods, cyclopses

Gaia who exhibit in multiple ways her essential female powers birth, nurturance, sustaining of life, transformation, joy, creativity, death, wisdom, social order, beauty, inner harmony, and more.

she rebelled against her husband Ouranos (Sky) who had imprisoned her sons in her womb. Gaia appears as a full-figured, reclining woman, often clothed in green, and sometimes accomp.anied by grain spirit.

Gaea, or Mother Earth, was the oldest of the gods of the early Greeks. She was known as the supreme goddess by humans and gods alike. She presided over marriages and oaths and was honored as a prophetess.

Gaia's Appearance: A beautiful and voluptuous woman. Sometimes she is shown as half-buried in the earth. Symbol or Attributes of Gaia: The earth. Fruits. Gaia's Strengths: She is a primal mother goddess, complete in herself. Gaia's Weaknesses: She brought forth from her own body Uranus, to be her companion. This turned out to be a mixed blessing.

Gaia's Parents:None. She is "born" of Chaos, but this not really a birth; as Chaos receded, Gaia came into being. Gaia's Spouse: Uranus; then Tartarus, Pontus Children of Gaia: Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, the Titans Hyperion and Iapetus, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys, Cronus or Kronos, and the Python of Delphi, among hundreds of others. Some Major Temple Sites of Gaia: She was usually worshipped in the open or in caves. Delphi was probably one of her main sites in very early times. Gaia's Basic Story:Gaia was the first deity, from whom all others sprang. But Uranus, her first creation, was lusty and cruel to Gaia. Gaia persuaded her other children to help her subdue their father. Cronus, her son, took a flint sickle and castrated his father, throwing his severed organs into the great sea. The goddess Aphrodite was then born of the mixing of the blood and foam. Gaia went on to have children with other mates.Aphrodite
