Ourea

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

In Greek mythology, the Ourea (Greek: Ούρος, English translation: "mountain") were rarely mentioned gods of the mountains, sons of Gaia, the Greek personifications of mountains. Each mountain was said to have its own god. They are members of the Protogenoi: the first-born elemental gods, children of Gaia. The Ourea, Ouranos, and Pontus are offspring of Gaia alone.
