Gaea without any partner gives birth to Uranus, also gave birth to Ourea (Mountains) and Pontus (Sea). and together Gaea and Uranus birthed a generation of powerful beings. Gaea gave birth to a triplet set of Hundred-Handed Giants. Each giant had fifty heads and one hundred powerful arms.

Uranus was fearful

Uranus, who was fearful of his children’s incredible strength, banished them to Tartarus, where they were bound in chains and kept in the dank darkness of the Underworld’s caverns. After Gaea gives birth to cyclops Uranus does the same and banished them.

This time she gave birth to 12 titans, They and their children became the oldest generation of Greek gods. The females were Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, and Themis; the males were Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Crius, Iapetus, and Kronos. Kronos. Kronos married his sister Rhea, who was a goddess of the earth like her mother, and in time they became the parents of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon.

Gaea Strikes Back

Once her Titan children were of age, Gaea decided the time had finally arrived for her to take action against Uranus. She gave them a large piece of flint and shaped it into a huge stone sickle with the edge of a razor. She asked them, if one of you is strong enough, we now have this tool that can end his tyrannical rule. Which of you will lead us in removing him from power?” The youngest took action and lead the sons to their father where they chopped his banana off and took over the rule.

Kronos Takes action

After the defeat of Uranus, Kronos became ruler of the world. His family had expected his first action to be the release of his imprisoned brothers, the Cyclopes, and the Hundred-Handed Giants; Kronos, however, feared their potential power, just as his father had before him, and decided to leave his uncles shackled in Tartarus. Geae was appalled by her sons' cruelty. though Kronos fell in love with his fair sister Rhea, and from their union, she birthed the first of their children. Kronos feared being overthrown so he swallowed his child.

Rhea's unlucky children

Rhea gives birth to 3 more children which Kronos swallowed all of them. For the fifth child she was careful and tricked kronos into thinking he swallowed another child but it wasn't. With Gaea’s help, Poseidon and Zeus remained hidden and protected. They came of age and, when the time was right, they agreed to help fulfill the prophecy that would unseat Kronos from his throne. They poisoned a drink and Kronos threw all the sons and daughters up and into freedom.

War is settled

The four immortal children who were now grown and filled

with intolerable hatred for their captor. Standing before their father, the four immortals were joined by Poseidon and Zeus who demanded that Kronos surrender his power. War was declared. Kronos enlisted the support of his Titan brothers and

sisters, for ten years, the war raged, as both sides were so evenly matched. Gaea told Zeus that if he freed his uncles they could win the war.

The Powers

Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were grateful for their grandmother’s help and eagerly agreed to make the dangerous journey to help

their uncles. For this, they received special gifts. To Zeus, they gave the gift of thunder and invincible lightning bolts, securing his ability to rule both the mortal and immortal worlds with unbreakable authority. To Poseidon, they gave a magical trident, a three-speared tool that would allow him to control all of the waters of the world. And to Hades, they gave a helmet of invisibility,

allowing him to hide his identity whenever he chose to do so.

The Final

the gods and their uncles unleased a brutal

assault on the Titans. Now that peace has been restored to the earth, the gods made sure the region of Tartarus would be an inescapable prison. Then the gods drew lots to determine their realms – Zeus won the sky,

Poseidon took the sea, and Hades was given the Underworld. fairly. People who disrespected the gods or each other were punished by Zeus, often in obvious and public ways.
