Notes
The central element in ancient Greek religious thought is Gaia, the earth or mother earth, from whom all that exists is born. For this reason, a powerful and influential cult was dedicated to Gaia. The cult dedicated to Gaia was a direct worship of the earth itself in the early ages. In later periods, this cult continued as the worship of different beings. In this study, it is claimed that the powers attributed to Gaia are at the origins of the worship of some underground gods in Ancient Greek religious thought, and that the cult of Gaia is at the origins of the cult dedicated to these beings. While justifying the claim, both the powers attributed to Gaia and the powers attributed to the relevant underground gods were comparatively mentioned. Thus, it has been claimed that the beings called underground gods are actually the personifications of Gaia. The study also aims to show that the Gaia cult was preserved and continued in the underground gods that emerged in the later periods of the Ancient Greek religion.
