Gaea's heart overflowed with pride and satisfaction.
Over the coarse of the myth, many feelings throughout the family become apparent as though it was a modern day family. First off when Uranus sends his children to Tartarus in secrecy of Gaea, his wife. This secrecy is a sneeky effect that arises in modern day marrages/relationships, that in turn causes hatred, distrust, and a feeling of betrayal. In my quote at the top it talks about when Gaea asks her children to seek revenge on their father for his wrong doings and only one of them shows the courage to face their father. This youngest Tritan was named Cronus. As a mother showing pride and satisfaction to her children would be like a modern day mother feeling the same way about their child succeeding in school or sports. I find that these values in society to family's show a lot of relation to modern day family values. Which I believe is why myths are still relevant in our lives today.

I agree with your thoughts on why myths are still relevant today. I felt you got your point across pretty well.
