From Wikipedia. "Uranus (pronounced /ˈjʊərənəs, jʊˈreɪnəs/) is the Latinized form of Ouranos (Οὐρανός), the Greek word for sky ( a cognate of the English word air and the Hindi word oura (to fly)). In Greek mythology Ouranos or Father Sky, is personified as the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth (Hesiod, Theogony). Uranus and Gaia were ancestors of most of the Greek gods, but no cult addressed directly to Uranus survived into Classical times,[1] and Uranus does not appear among the usual themes of Greek painted pottery. Elemental Earth, Sky and Styx might be joined, however, in a solemn invocation in Homeric epic.[2]"

My Greek/Latin mythology is rusty, but I'll give it a crack to maybe shed some more light on the subject.

Ouranos had murdered his father Cronus, first of the gods, who was also the father of the Titans, predecessors to the Olympian gods. Someone (an oracle of some sort - I forget who) told him that one of his children would murder him in the manner he had murdered his father. So he ate each of his children as they were born - except that Gaia kept the last of them (Zeus) safe by wrapping a stone in infant clothing, which Ouranos then ate.

It was Zeus who slew his father, freeing his siblings (who apparently weren't killed by being eaten), who then waged war against the remaining Titans. Fun fact: Aphrodite was born out of the dismembered remains of Ouranos after they had been cast out to sea.

Since Ouranos was killed, and his brother Titans lost to the Olympian gods, it is no surprise that no cult to him arose.

That's as much as I recall... feel free to check/correct.
