Ourea
In Greek mythology, the Ourea (Ancient Greek: Οὔρεα, romanized: Oúrea, lit. 'mountains', plural of Ancient Greek: Οὖρος, romanized: Oûros, or 'Oûros') were the parthenogenetic offspring of Gaia (Earth), produced alongside Uranus (Sky), and Pontus (Sea).
According to Hesiod:
And [Gaia] brought forth long hills [Οὔρεα], graceful hauntsof the goddess Nymphs who dwell amongst the glens of the hills.
Defined by Middle Liddell as from οὖρος "mountain, hill; mule; a guard."
