Caelus

/ˈsiːləs/ noun

Definition

In Roman mythology, the primordial sky god and father of Saturn, equivalent to the Greek Uranus.

Etymology

From Latin caelus (sky), personified as a deity. The name derives from the same root as caelum, making Caelus literally 'the Sky' as a conscious entity.

Kelly Says

Caelus was so ancient in Roman religion that he was often forgotten in favor of younger gods, yet he represented the most fundamental power—the very sky itself that contained all creation.
