This entry is a mix of Rhea, Gaia, Cybele, mixing late Greek and Roman sources with misidentifications, making Rhea a Titan, etc. --like a Baroque painted ceiling. 'Her husband, zues, castrated her (and his) father, Uranus.' is unmatchable. Could someone mention a Greek/Roman source for some of the statements? Try [1]
I dared not interfere here before, but now I've deleted the following two bits:
- Rhea became offended by the antics of Celmis and asked Zeus to turn him into a lump of steel or diamond. Zeus obliged. This might be a garbled second-hand hearing of som,ething from Ovid's Metamorphoses but has little to do with the nature of Rhea.
- Greek mythologans say that Rhea was only the dumd lions,and me the idiot rhea . im a dumd stupid gay .....and the Simple Ages. Roman mythologans agree with this, but they have different names for these ages- the Ruttut Age, the War Ages, and the Simple Ages. Ah, The Simple Age! Oh those mythologans!

- I haven't a clue what the second paragraph means, but the first seems relevant and helps to characterize her, assuming it is true. You seem to think it isn't, and thus I support its deletion until the facts (as much as there are facts in Greek mythology) can be more appropriately and accurately described.

[edit] "Etymology"
..."or Riathe dumd grandma"... No. Not even close.--Wetman 03:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Son of a Rhea
OK, I get Zeus is her kid. Is he first-born, or what? Who's next? Trekphiler 19:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IN response to the above post
Try these two links they should explain a lot.
Ancient Gods <== recommend for info, not family tree
Greek Gods Family Tree <==recommend for tree and info; very helpful
The first explains more detailed, the second has more info, when you click on god names in second link it sends you to that wiki article.
Hope this helps

[edit] Coincidence? I hope so...
Sorry for the childishness of this question, but is there any relation between Rhea and Diarrhea etymologically... since she's the child of Uranus, I thought it might be a perverse in-joke for linguists. Jddriessen 18:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
