geb

=**Geb The Greek God**=

Geb is the god of earth & fertility. He imprisoned the dead in his body. At first he was a local god who was worshiped as a goose "The Great Cackler". Geb took on the form of a goose, but was almost always formed as a man. Geb sometimes was colored green to show that, he was a god of fertility. The earthquakes were thought to be his laughter considering he was the god of earth. People thought that he supplied the minerals and stones, and was also a god of the mines. The earth was called "The House of Geb". Geb seems to have been worshiped around the Iunu On, Heliopolis region.
