Greek mythology
Gaea was the goddess who personified the Earth, considered as a superorganism, in which every element of it benefits everyone and oneself, by contributing to maintain adequate conditions for life (Gaia hypothesis).
(1184) Gaea is related with the ability to commit to the group, and vice versa (1:1 resonance with Juno and 5:4 with Europe), like in the movies "Unstoppable" (2010) and "Getaway" (2013).
