That was hilarious, Paul August. Don't see how you copied Honor Harrington instead of Python_(mythology), but that's none of my business.

The name 'George' (and its variants) is derived from the ancient Greek name 'Georgios', which in turn is believed to have originated as a theophoric name after Zeus Georgos, the Athenian version of Zeus. Zeus Georgos was, as the name suggests, an agrarian deity, and as such, related to Ge. In some myths Zeus and Gaia are said to have born children together, so the existence of an 'earth-working Zeus' (as the name / title can be literally translated) makes sense.-- 87.255.89.160 ( talk) 11:24, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
". Further books by Lovelock and others popularized the Gaia Hypothesis, which was embraced to some extent by New Age environmentalists as part of the heightened awareness of environmental concerns of the 1990s." Allanana79 ( talk) 09:45, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
If the infobox has Gaia as child of Chaos and sibling to Nyx, Erebus and Tartarus, shouldn't that get mentioned in the article as well? Because now this information stands there entirely unsourced (since only Hesiod is mentioned, and it's established that Hesiod has her parentless). I think it shouldn't display info without the supporting citation. Deiadameian, ( talk) 21:00 UTC
In truth, first of all Chasm came to be, and then broad-breasted Earth, the ever immovable seat of all the immortals who possess snowy Olympus' peak and murky Tartarus in the depths of the broad-pathed earth, and Eros, who is the most beautiful among the immortals", etc. [1]
