It's quite amusing that you learn most of your mythology from fictional modern day stories. Gaia is the goddess of the earth according to Greek mythology, and I believe that it actually says so rather clearly in the Percy Jackson series.

Freya, I think, is simply a made up god, in the dragon riders of Berk, and is not based on any real mythology. I think the actually reason they chose the name Freya had nothing to do with the dragon riders of Berk, but is actually representing the Norse god Freyr, and was pictured as a phallic fertility god.

Then again, this is based on memories, for all I know, I might be dead wrong!
