As time passed, Rhea gave birth to three more children, the daughters Demeter

and Hera and a fine son named Hades. With each birth, Rhea lovingly wrapped

the child in soft cloth before bringing the bundle to Kronos’ throne. Each time,

she prayed that Kronos would share in her joy, but each time the same painful

action was repeated. Kronos would pretend to welcome the child into the family,

yet once he held the young flesh in his brawny arms the prophecy would obliterate

any thoughts of decency. Instead of love, his veins surged with fear and he’d

swallow each infant whole.

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.

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.

Once back in the land of sunlight, the gods and their uncles unleased a brutal

assault on the Titans. Zeus climbed atop Mount Olympus and hurled lightning

bolt after lightning bolt upon Kronos and the Titans. The Hundred-Handed Giants

ripped mountaintops apart and threw thousands of boulders upon their enemies.

The assault was unparalleled and the Titans were not prepared; they were forced

to retreat to the land of Tartarus. There, the Cyclopes were waiting

and, one by one, lashed the Titans with unbreakable chains, locking

them in the underground prison, Kronos among them.
