It say's here that one of Astarte's titles is "Mother Earth" does this mean she is also Gaia?

If so, what is the symbolism behind her giving birth to herself? Is it something related to immortality/rebirth?

And who is Uranus, then? I imagine it has something to do with the left/masculine side of the brain, especially because of its association to technology, a primarily left-brained industry. But also, Uranus' association to 'freedom' (i.e., freedom from the restrictions of the left-brain, from the physical, from the overbearing dominance of the masculine over the feminine)

Or is it saying something else here?
 

I imagine the water/ocean/Poseidon represents the unconscious, and so, the sperm hitting the water here has something to do with the fusing of the (masculine/feminine) hemispheres of the brain, but also with Satan being Poseidon and representative of the ocean itself, it is a literal metaphor about her birth?

But then again, you need a man and a woman to make a baby. So unless God's don't need to procreate in order to create offspring, and/or Astarte doesn't have a mother, this would be incorrect.
 
I have always thought that primordial deities only represent concepts and energies, and from the union or separation of these primordial energies new things are born, like titans for example.

The cosmic ordering of chaos and its elements by the Gods is a management of all the energies of the universe to achieve mastery over it.

If one thing is out of place the whole system can collapse.

One of those things I am curious about are the ecatoncheri, those 3 beings with 50 heads and 100 arms. What do they represent?
It is something that allowed the Gods to win the war against the titans, and that stopped the rebellion of the Gods against Zeus.
And they are the guards of Tartarus, after the Gods take over.

This is what I know.
