Ourea


In Greek mythology, the Ourea (Greek: Ούρος, English translation: "mountains") 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.[1] The Ourea, Ouranos, and Pontus are offspring of Gaia alone.
