She states she has a different name according to each phanteon. (except the norse one, because they never had a " mother earth " in theyr myths).
So tecnically she is the same Gaea of the myth that gave birth to the Titans.

Is Chronos, Mentor's father, the same Chronos from Greek Mythology or is it Chronos the God of Time from Infinity Gauntlet?
When Jim Starlin introduced the Titans [Thanos, Alars (Mentor), Eros (Starfox), etc.] to the Marvel Universe, he based them in Greek mythology. Without going into too much detail, Alars was a sibling of Zeus, and a conflict with his brother drove him and his followers from Olympus to the moon of Titan, where he founded his own society and became its “mentor.”
Years later, when Mentor’s son Eros took the identity of Starfox and joined the Avengers, Roger Stern altered the Titans’ origin somewhat. During an adventure with Jack Kirby’s Eternals, Ikarus and Sersi, while relating the tale of their own race’s origin, told a tale very much like Starlin’s origin for the Titans, except that Olympus became “Olympia,” Zeus became “Zuras,” and so on. When they got up to the point at which Alars and his followers left Earth, Eros took over the tale, realizing for the first time that the Titans were an offshoot of the Eternals, not the Greek gods.
No effort was made to explain or reconcile the discrepancies, but later retelling embraced Stern’s version (although later reprintings of Starlin’s Captain Marvel, written before Kirby’s Eternals, have kept the Greek pantheon references intact).

So I'm guessing that Chronos the God of Time is not Zeus' dad?

Creshosk[/url]]The Romans said that the Greek Cronus was the same as their agricultural deity Saturn. In the Hellenistic period, the Stoic philosophers tried to ascertain the original meaning of Cronus' name. The truth is that they were as unsure as we are. Some of them declared that the name Cronus was etymologically related to one of the several Greek words for time, chronos. They justified their claim by stating that just like how Cronus swallowed his children in mythology, "time," or "chronos", eats away at everything. From this confusion, the figure of the bearded and scythe-carrying "Father Time" was born. Scholars and linguists have recently determined that Cronus' name and that Greek word for time, chronos, are not related etymologically. The exact meaning of Cronus' name is unknown, but some etymologists have suggested that it's pre-Greek in origin. Others have suggested that his name was related to the Greek word corone which means "crow." Whatever his name might have meant originally, it's very probable that Cronus was an agricultural deity that was worshipped in Greece.
"Chronos, Gaea, Ouranos, Hyperion...etc - Titans from Greek Mythology
Thanos, Mentor, Starfox...etc - Eternals from Titan, one of Saturn's moons
So I'm guessing that Chronos the God of Time is not Zeus' dad?"
Its like this, at Marvel there are tecnically two Chronos/Khronos walking around. Both with time based powers. One that was the father of Zeus and his brothers and the other of the eternals.
In the Starlin first origin however they wer suposse to be the same being. The Greek Titan god of time.
