Although they and their fellow Titans of Myth enjoyed god-like status, Gaea had other offspring who were ugly and monstrous. Uranus banished them to the pits of Tartarus . Gaea persuaded Cronus to kill Uranus and free the brood. Cronus completed the first part of the pact only and then invited Oceanus and the other Titans of Myth to join him in the paradise of a subjugated Earth .
