8. URANUS

URANUS
Uranus is the personification of the sky.

URANUS is URANOS (Greek)
Uranus or Father Sky was the son and husband of Gaia, the primordial Earth Mother (Mother Earth).

URANUS is CAELUS (Roman)
Uranus is associated with the Roman god Caelus. Caelus or Coelus was a primal god of the sky in Roman myth and theology, iconography, and literature (compare caelum, the Latin word for "sky" or "the heavens", hence English "celestial").

Genealogy. According to Cicero and Hyginus, Caelus was the son of Aether and Dies ("Day" or "Daylight"). ... With Trivia, Caelus was the father of the distinctively Roman god Janus, as well as of Saturn and Ops. Caelus was also the father of one of the three forms of Jupiter, the other two fathers being Aether and Saturn.

URANUS is NUT (Egypt)
For the Egyptians, their body might lie interred in the ground, mummified or preserved, but it was the soul that truly mattered, and one’s soul ascended to the stars; it was not trapped on earth. Therefore, the stars, the heavens, and all that existed above, was of greatest importance.

For the Egyptians, the stars were seen as eternal, so Nut’s body, portrayed as the star-filled sky, symbolised eternal life. Her body formed the protective barrier fending off the forces of Chaos, so she made it possible for the Cosmos to maintain its unity.
