Unlike the Romans they have some involvement in the demigod's lives not being so much a stickler for rules like their Roman counterparts. Like the Romans, the Greeks have demigod children and a camp to train them. She may not have formed until Zeus and his siblings were fully grown, harmonizing some myths which say she is a daughter of Zeus.
However, it was never stated when Aphrodite was born from Ouranos' remains in the sea. From affairs, the other gods and goddesses were created. Zeus married his sister Hera, and had subsequent children ― Ares, Hephaestus, Hebe, Eileithyia, and Enyo ― followed. Zeus eventually managed to get his tendons back with the help of a few other gods and a satyr and then, using trickery, he managed to hurl a mountain on top of the storm giant and imprisoned him this way.
He was overwhelmed eventually and had his divine tendons torn off. The gods, upon seeing the big monstrosity, fled all the way to Egypt except Zeus who tried to fight the monster. The gods were also challenged by Typhon the storm giant who was the last and arguably most powerful son of Gaea and Tartarus. This is exemplified when the Giants rebelled against the gods, and Hercules and Dionysus, the sons of Zeus, helped them vanquish the Giants as the giants could be killed easily if they are fought with the help of a demigod. The Olympians have been challenged many times for their control of the world, but they have always managed to stabilize their rule, often with the help of their children, the demigods. This marked the end of the Titan age and started the Olympian age. The other titans were also cast down to Tartarus with the exception of Atlas who was forced to hold up the sky for the rest of eternity. The final blow was delivered when Zeus, using his father's own scythe, cut Kronos into a thousand pieces and dropped them in Tartarus where he would never rise again. During the final battle, the gods gathered on Mount Olympus, the tallest mountain after Mount Othrys, and Zeus used the Master Bolt to sheer off the top of Mount Othrys and topple Kronos' Black Throne. In gratitude, the Cyclopes forged the Big Three's symbols of power: the Master Bolt, the Trident, and the Helm of Darkness, while the sheer strength of the Hekatonkheires proved to be a great advantage against the Titan army.Īt first, the Titans had an advantage, due to being more experienced, but in time, the gods themselves became experienced and fierce warriors too, and with the help of their new weapons, were able to prevail. Most of the titans remained neutral with the exception of Iapetus, Krios, Koios, Hyperion and Atlas. Having freed his siblings, as well as the Hekatonkheires and the Cyclopes whom Kronos had re-imprisoned in Tartarus, Zeus led a rebellion against the Titans. Disguised as a titan, Zeus tricked Kronos and using a mixture of mustard and nectar, Zeus freed his siblings by smuggling the concoction to Kronos and forcing him to regurgitate his children and used a different potion to knock out the other titans in order to escape without opposition.

He returned to Kronos' palace to free his siblings who, being immortals, remained alive and undigested within their father’s stomach. He would have devoured Zeus as well, but Rhea, unable to bear the pain of losing another child and seeing her husband now for the monster he was, entered into an alliance with Gaea, who smuggled her son away to safety, and gave her husband a rock instead to devour in which he ate without looking.Īfter years in hiding, Zeus was finally old enough and strong enough to overthrow his father. Hestia first, then Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon. The six elder Greek gods and goddesses were Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus, because they were the sons and daughters of the two rulers of the Titans: Kronos and Rhea.įearing his children would overthrow him in the same way he had done to his own father like Ouranos had predicted, Kronos devoured his first two sons and his three daughters almost immediately after they were born. 9.1.1 Major Olympian Gods and Goddesses.
