There are two creation theories.
1. The elements were floating around. Some creator shaped them into the earth (Gaia) the heavens (Uranus) and all the other primordial concepts/deities and proceeds to never be heard from again.
2. All the primordial deities were born from Chaos.
Things proceed from there.
Gaia "land" or "earth", is the primal Greek goddess personifying the Earth.
All the planets names are from Roman mythology, not Greek.
Prometheus made mankind from clay in Greek mythology. Prometheus shaped man from mud.

She is more like the mother of all living things, including the Titans and other deities.
