From the blood that fell to the surface of the sea, Aphrodite, hence called Urania, was born.

Zagreus – a deity known as Dionysus-Zagreus. Son of Zeus and Persephone, conceived secretly from all. Zeus ordered the Korybantes, or Curetes, to guard Zagreus's cradle in a cave on Ida. The Titans whitened themselves with plaster to prevent recognition and waited until the Curetes were asleep. At midnight, they lured Zagreus with gifts of toys, golden apples, a mirror, dice, and a bundle of wool. When the Titans attacked him, intending to murder him, Zagreus did not cower, but changed forms several times, trying to elude them. He incarnated successively as Zeus, Kronos, a lion, a horse, a horned serpent, a tiger, and a bull. In his final incarnation, the Titans captured him, tore him to pieces, and devoured him. Athena defeated the Titans, saved Zagreus's heart, placed it in a plaster statue and breathed life into it, thus making Zagreus immortal.
