The castration of Uranus

Uranus being castrated by Cronus

Uranus was both a cruel father and a husband. He didn't want to let his children see the light of day because he hated them. He imprisoned them deep in the earth where no one would find them, the womb of Gaea. This cruelty would have a backlash on him as it made Gaea mad. Gaea and Cronus set up an ambush as Cronus was preparing to lay with Gaea. Cronus then castrated him with a sickle. Cronus n the future didn't become a very good father at all. He inherited his father's cruelness. but atleast Cronus had a reason unlike Uranus who just hated his children for no apparent reason. Uranus's cruelty is unjustifiable, his actions and deeds are coming from that of a psychopath .
