The mother of Livia, she is present in "A Necessary Fiction" when a married Livia catches the eye of young Octavian, and both women are pleased when he insists that Livia divorce her current husband to marry him.

    Gaia (mythology)

    In Greek mythology, Gaia, (GAY-ə or GAH-yə; from Ancient Greek Γαῖα, a poetical form of Γῆ Gē, Ge, "land" or "earth";) also spelled Gaea, was the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia was the great mother of all: the primal Greek Mother Goddess; creator and giver of birth to the Earth and all the Universe; the heavenly gods, the Titans, and the Giants were born to her. The gods reigning over their classical pantheon were born from her union with Uranus (the sky), while the sea-gods were born from her union with Pontus (the sea). Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra.

    Etymology

    The Greek word γαῖα (transliterated as gaia) is a collateral form of γῆ (gē, Doric γᾶ ga and probably δᾶ da) meaning Earth, a word of uncertain origin.R. S. P. Beekes has suggested a Pre-Greek origin. It, however, could be related to the Avestan word gaiia 'life;' cf. Av. gaēθā '(material) world, totality of creatures' and gaēθiia 'belonging to/residing in the worldly/material sphere, material'; and probably even Av, gairi 'mountain'.

    The House Jack Built

    by: Metallica

    Open door, so I walk inside
    Close my eyes, find my place to hide
    And I shake as I take it in
    Let the show begin
    Open my eyes, just to have them close again
    Well on my way, but on my way to where I've been
    It swallows me as it takes me in its fog
    I twist away as I give this world the nod
    Open door, so I walk inside
    Close my eyes, find my place to hide
    And I shake as I take it in
    Let the show begin
    Open my eyes, just to have them closed once again
    Don't want control
    As it takes me down and down and down again
    Is that the Moon? Or just a light that lights this dead-end street?
    Is that you there? Or just another demon that I meet?
    The higher you are
    The farther you fall
    The longer the walk
    The farther you crawl
    My body, my temple
    This temple, it tilts
    Step into the house that Jack built
    The higher you are
    The farther you fall
    The longer the walk
    The farther you crawl
    My body, my temple
    This temple, it tilts
    Yes, this is the house that Jack built
    Open door, yes, I walk inside
    Swallow me so the pain subsides
    And I shake as I take the sin
    Let the show begin
    The higher you are
    The farther you fall
    The longer the walk
    The farther you crawl
    My body, my temple
    This temple, it tilts
    Yes, this is the house that Jack built
    The higher you are
    The farther you fall
    The longer the walk
    The farther you crawl
    My body, my temple
    This temple, it tilts
    Yes, I am, I am, I am
    Open my eyes
    It swallows me
    Is that you there
    I twist away
    Away
    Away
