Why GEA?

Ancient cultures were based upon myths and legends, gods and heroes with divine characteristics. Key concepts and symbols portrayed in myths and legends shed light on these cultures. According to Greek mythology, Gea (The Earth) emerged from the Chaos.

“Later Gea, spacious and firm, became a foundation and habitat nourishing everything that breathes.”
