1. Gaia

   In Greek mythology, Gaia (; Ancient Greek: Γαῖα, romanized: Gaîa, a poetical form of Γῆ (Gê), meaning 'land' or 'earth'), also spelled Gaea , is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother—sometimes parthenogenic—of all life. She is the mother of Uranus (the sky), from whose sexual union she bore the Titans (themselves parents of many of the Olympian gods), the Cyclopes, and the Giants; as well as of Pontus (the sea), from whose union she bore the primordial sea gods. Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra.

1. gaia

   Gaia, also known as Mother Earth, is a concept originating from ancient Greek mythology, referring to the personification of the Earth. Gaia is considered the great mother of all: the primal Greek Mother Goddess; creator and giver of birth to the Earth and all the Universe. In a broader, modern context, Gaia is also a theory known as the Gaia Hypothesis, proposed by scientist James Lovelock, suggesting that the Earth and its biological systems behave as a huge single entity, where life interacts with the Earth to maintain a world suitable for its existence. The term "Gaia" thus represents Earth as a living, self-regulating organism.

1. Gaia

   Gaia is the fictional world in the 1997 role-playing video game Final Fantasy VII and its subsequent metaseries Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Referred to as "The Planet" in the original game, the location was retroactively named "Gaia". Gaia is similar to that of the world of Final Fantasy VI insofar as it is a world with considerably more advanced technology than the first five games in the Final Fantasy series. Overall, Gaia's technology and society approximates that of an industrial or post-industrial science fiction milieu.
