Kronos was the Titan God of time and the ages, especially times of destruction and devastation. Kronos is known by many names such as Cronus, Cronos, and Saturn in Roman. His symbol is of a scythe to represent reaping and destruction. Kronos has no temple, and is not worshipped as a god.
His father is Ouranos the god of the sky. His mother is Gaia who is mother earth herself. He was the youngest born titan. His brothers are all the titans. His spouse was Rhea goddess, of fertility, and motherhood. Their children include Zeus, Hestia, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, and Demeter.
Kronos’s first major feat was the castration of his father. He, like his brothers the titans were imprisoned by Ouranos shortly after birth. Gaia did not like that he children were being imprisoned by Ouranos, so she made a plan to defeat him. From ore she created a crude scythe, which she then offered to the titans. Kronos stepped forward and took it, as he was the only one who was not afraid of his father.
Kronos ambushed his father, and with his scythe he castrated his father. He threw his father’s...
The beginning of the myth of Cronus is about the father Uranus and the mother Gaea had children and the father did not like how one of them look so the other brothers took down their father Uranus .The middle of the myth is about is that Cronus, one of the children got married and he was afraid that his child would rise up against so he swallowed every one of them.At the end of the myth, Zeus one of his children did not get swallowed , he had a plan to get his siblings back and he did and he took down his father just like the prophet said would happen. In the myth had a prophecy that would someday happen and they both tried to not make it come true, but it still happened and they were both wrong trying to skip the prophet Cronus and his Titan brothers to rise up against their father and save their other brothers Cronus did
Daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, Demeter was one of Cronus and Rhea’s six children, and sister of Hestia, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus (Pontikis). He feared that they would overthrow him and take his throne, as he had done to his own father, Uranus (34). Consequently, Cronus adopted the habit of swallowing his children as they were born, so they would never have a chance of overthrowing him (34). Distraught at the loss of her children, Rhea sought her mother Gaia, the earth mother, and asked for advice (Webster). Gaia advised that she give Cronus a stone to swallow in the place of her next child. After the birth of her last child, Zeus, Rhea followed this advice: she hid Zeu...
Athena was Zeus's daughter, and his favorite to be exact. Athena's mother was Metis, goddess of prudence, and she didn't give birth to Athena the way other mothers gave birth to their children. When Athena was born she sprang out of Zeus's head, when Hephaestus "struck his father's skull," fully grown and in full armor wearing the "robe
He was the father of all the rivers and lakes of the world. But then the Olympians rebelled against the Titans, Zeus drove Cronus into the western ocean. When Zeus had taken his place as head of the gods, not even the oceans tides could defy him.
The God of War, raw violence, and fierce are things that made up Ares. He is one of the Twelve Olympian gods and the son of Zeus and Hera. Homer described him as a violent, cruel, and cared for almost nothing else. Nothing pleased Ares better than a battle between two great armies. He likes to spectate soldiers driving furiously toward each other fighting to their deaths. He was such an enormous fellow that it was said that his body covered seven acres as he lay there on the ground.
Out of the original emptiness(chaos), three immortal beings emerge: Gaea (mother earth), Tartarus (underworld), and Eros (love). Gaea by herself conceived Uranus (father sky), and made him her equal, then together Gaea gave birth to three hundred handed giants and the three cyclopes, in which Uranus threw his children into the Tartarus (underworld). Gaea hiding her feelings, gave birth to the next children of Uranus known as the thirteen titans. Eventually he was overthrown by his youngest son, whom took his father’s position as ruler of the universe and started the age of the titans. Uranus is a greek god that plays a crucial role in the start of greek mythology, has a great thirst for power, and had his power taken from him by his son Kronos.
Zeus was the lord of the sky, earth, rain, and leader of the Olympian divine beings. He toppled his dad and slaughtered his siblings with a specific end goal to discover who might take the spot on his dad's royal position. His weapon was a thunder jolt, he tossed this at any individual who disappointed him or opposed him. He wedded and undermined Hera.
Poseidon is a god of many names. He is most famous as the god of the sea. The son of Cronus and Rhea, Poseidon is one of six siblings who eventually "divided the power of the world." His brothers and sisters include: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Zeus. The division of the universe involved him and his brothers, Zeus and Hades. Poseidon became ruler of the sea, Zeus ruled the sky, and Hades got the underworld. The other divinities attributed to Poseidon involve the god of earthquakes and the god of horses. The symbols associated with Poseidon include: dolphins, tridents, and three-pronged fish spears.
Cronus and Rhea are the parents of Poseidon in Greek mythology. Poseidon is one of the 3 sons; the others are Hades and Zeus. And there three sisters were Demeter, Hestia, Hera, and while Cronus was the horrible father who feared his own children so he ate them at birth. He continued to eat the newborns until his wife tricked him by giving him stones instead to save Zeus. But sadly Poseidon (and Hades) was eaten by Cronus to save them Zeus (who was being raised by nymphs) became Cronus’ cupbearer. He poisoned Cronus and he threw up Poseidon. They started a war against Cronus it lasted for ten years until the brothers released the Cyclopes and in return they gave the each a weapon. Poseidon received a trident, Zeus a lightning bolt, and Hades the helmet of darkness.
In the beginning, it all started with the gods and goddesses Cronus (God of the Sky) and Rhea (Goddess of the Earth). They met and got married. While they were married they produced six offspring. These offspring would turn out to be some of the most famous in mythology. The offspring consisted of Hestia, Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hera, and of course, the famous Zeus. Poseidon was the oldest son to be born from these two. Unfortunately when the offspring were born Cronus devoured most, even though Rhea tried many times to keep that from happening. Finally when Zeus was born she tricked Cronus into thinking it was his own son, when handed to him, and he eat him like all the others. But after doing so, Rhea told Cronus that she had given him a stone wrapped up in a blanket. Zeus later overthrew his father and released all of his other kin. After overthrowing Cronus, Zeus took over the ruler of the kingdom. With him taking the thrown on Mt. Olympus, he chose Hades to rule the underworld and Poseidon to look after the sea and land. Poseidon was a very powerful god and ruled with fury. He was made the god of waters in general and of the sea in particular (1). He is an equal in dignity to Zeus but not in power. This is important because it does not allow Poseidon to question his br...
