Acmon (father of Uranus)

Ancient Greece

In Greek mythology, Acmon is in some sources the father of Uranus, the personification of the sky, with no mother mentioned. A fragment of Alcman is the first attestation of this parentage, and fragments of several later authors refer to Uranus as Akmonídēs. In another genealogy, incorrectly attributed to Hesiod, Acmon is the son of Gaia, and in some sources he is identified with Uranus himself.
