Myth of the Day🌀 primordial
Gaia
Gaia was the primordial Earth goddess, the first being to emerge after Chaos — mother of the Titans, the Giants, and virtually all life in Greek cosmology.
The Gaia hypothesis, proposed by James Lovelock in 1979, treats the entire Earth as a self-regulating system — named directly after this goddess.
