2.Myths And Legends

Zeus(Bronze Statue Of Zeus) is the son of Cronus, the second-generation god-king of the Titans. Kronos became the second god-king by overthrowing his father Uranus. And when he overthrew Uranus, the angry Uranus uttered a curse-like prophecy to Cronus: Cronus will also be overthrown by his own children.

Cronus was very afraid of this prophecy, so every time he had a child with his sister and wife Rhea, Cronus ate one and swallowed his own child. When the sixth child was born, Rhea was determined to protect him. She wrapped a stone in a cloth and lied that it was a newborn baby, and Kronos swallowed it without hesitation. So Zeus escaped, and he was sent to be raised by his uncles, the god of the ocean, Okeanos, and the goddess of the sea, Thesis.

When Zeus(Bronze Statue Of Zeus) grew up, he knew his origin and was determined to rescue his fellow brothers. He first married Metis, the daughter of Okeanos and Thesis, and then, following his wife’s plan, drugged his father, Cronus, and vomited all the children in his womb. They were Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon, and then the children were taken away and adopted by the Okeanos and Thesis in time, and replaced by Zeus by Chloe The stone swallowed by North was placed in Delphi by Zeus as a memorial, and the Temple of Delphi became one of the most important temples in ancient Greece. Zeus united five brothers and sisters and began to formally counter Cronus.

At this time, the second generation of the gods, the Titan gods, were divided into several factions: Okeanos, Thesis, Themis, Mnemosyne supported Zeus, Rhea, Koos, Kleos, Ia Potos supported Cronus, and Hyperion, Theia, and Phoebe did not participate in the war. During this period, Zeus successively married Themis, Eurynomer, Demeter, Mnemosyne, Leto, and Hera as his wives, and promised to make Hera the Queen of Heaven after the victorious class teacher.

Zeus and his supporters stood on the top of Mount Olympus, and fought against Cronus and his supporters, who stood on the top of Mount Otris. This battle of the gods, known as the “Battle of the Titans”, has been going on for ten years, and the scale of the war is almost all over the world, but the two sides have never been able to tell the winner.

Later, Zeus obeyed the advice of his cousin Prometheus (also said to be Gaia), and rescued the Cyclops who was imprisoned in Gaia’s mother’s womb by Cronus – Kucrops, the hundred-armed giants. – Heka and Chris. Cyclops is the greatest blacksmith in the whole world, and Hekatonkreith can throw 100 rocks as massive as a mountain at a time, with a power that even the Titans can’t resist.

The Cyclops helped Zeus build the thunderbolt, Poseidon the trident, and Hades the cap of invisibility; with the help of the giants, Zeus’ camp eventually overthrew Cronus’s rule.

After the great victory at the Battle of the Titans, Zeus and his brothers were at odds with each other over how to distribute the domination of the world. Seeing that they were about to go to war because of this, Prometheus, who was full of wisdom, proposed to use a lottery to determine the dominance of the world. According to the result of the lottery, Zeus was assigned to the sky and became a god. Poseidon was assigned to the sea and became the god of the sea, while Hades was assigned to the underworld and became the king of the underworld. As for the earth, it is shared by the three brothers through negotiation. The three brothers are respected by Zeus, who rules the sky.

Then Zeus fulfilled his promise to make Hera the queen, and the two shared the power to master Olympus and the sky.

Then Zeus imprisoned Cronus and the defeated Titans in the prison of Tartarus in the underground abyss. In order to prevent them from escaping, Zeus ordered Poseidon to build bronze doors, windows and walls around the prison, and then let the hundred-armed giant and the three-headed dog of hell be in charge of guarding.

At first, Gaia, the mother of the earth, supported her grandson Zeus. At the wedding of Zeus and Hera, she also gave her a golden apple from the Holy Garden. , Gaia held a grudge, and Gaia, the mother of the earth, gave birth to a monster named Typhon, posing a great threat to the world and fighting against the gods. Zeus then went to fight him, and struck him with lightning, and the flames burned into Typhon’s heart, causing him to lose his strength. As for Typhon’s final ending, it is said that he was pressed underground in the area of Mount Etna. When he gets angry, it causes the volcano to flow lava. Later, Gaia instigated Alcuoneus, the king of Decantes, to rebel against Zeus. But under the resistance of Hercules and the gods, finally the army of Cygantes led by Arcuoneus failed and was thrown into hell.
