Hello fellow Greek myth enjoyers. I feel that Greek myths are becoming extremely popular, so I am going to tell you the story of how the gods came to be. It all started with the lord of the sky, Ouranos, and the earth, known as Gaia. Ouranos and Gaia had 12 sons, and 6 daughters, also known as the Titans. Fearing they would rise up against him, he locked them up deep within the Earth, where they caused alot of chaos. Tired of having to deal with the pain, Gaia urged them to rebel against their treacherous father. So the titans went to the four corners of the earth to hold it up, while one stood at the middle, taking Ouranos' place. While here, the rest of the Titans held Ouranos so he couldn't escape while their brother killed him. Before he died, Ouranos prophesized that they would soon fall at the hands of their children for their treachery against Ouranos. After Ouranos has finally died, the Titans began their rule of the world. The Titan who killed his father, Ouranos, then had several children, who are now known as the Gods. Fearing the prophesy his father foretold, he ate each child. After losing so many children, Rhea, Kronos' wife, tricked him into eating a rock instead of the God, Zeus. Many years later, Zeus became a skilled fighter, impressing his own father, who then invited him for dinner. Zeus came up with a plan to poison Kronos so that he would throw up the rest of the gods. There plan did work, and Kronos regurgitated the children. They then revolted against the Titans, and killed Zeus with his very own scythe. This became the Age Of The Gods, where in which Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hermes, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Athena, Demeter, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Eros, Hera, and Hestia ruled. And so ends the story of how the Greek Gods came to be. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
