WRITTEN EXPLANATION
(maybe this will help you make sense of the chart!)
   Everything started Aphroditewith Uranus (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth). They gave birth to Cronus, Rhea, Coeus, Phoebe, and Oceanus. Cronus and Rhea gave birth to Hestia, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Zeus, and Demeter.Poseidon Coeus and Phoebe gave birth to Leto. Oceanus fell in love with Tethys, and they had Iapetus.

   Hera and her brother Zeus gave birth to Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus. Zeus and Demeter (another sister) gave birth to Persephone. And Athena only came from Zeus (she sprang from his head). Leto (from Coeus and Phoebe) and Zeus gave birth to Apollo and Artemis. Iapetus (from Oceanus and Tethys) had Atlas, Prometheus, and Epimethius.

   Atlas had Maia, and she (with Zeus) gave birth to Hermes. Epimethius had Dione, and she (also with Zeus) gave birth to Aphrodite.
