are an evil for man, one who avoids marriage fairs no better. As this is true in the case of mortals due to Pandora, this is also true in the case of Gods. This same trickery and doom-bringing quality is also present in the Goddess, Rhea. Rhea, like Gaia, uses cunning against her husband. In the Theogony, Hesiod details the trick of Rhea in which she saves Zeus against the will of Kronos. Rhea would have given birth to many of the Olympians, but “majestic Kronos swallowed each child” (Th. 459).…

Once upon a time, there was a Great War. This Great War took place in the mystical land of Arizona.

Powell grew concerned, and went to his Father, whose name was John, and he was tending to the crops. “Not to worry, young nymph, get back to work.” After he was done working, his father let him explore, which was his favorite thing to do in his free time. He went as far as…

and the universe. The children’s book recounts the birth of the gods and the gradual emergence of Zeus’ dominance and his formation of cosmic order. The story is told in three stages, the castration of Oursanos by Cronos, the deception of Cronos by Gaia and Zeus, and the victory of the new gods over the Titans. The myth does not follow the pattern of a Judeo-Christian creation myth or Ovid’s Metamorphoses, where an omnipresent god or power is responsible for all of creation, but rather follows…

At the beginning, there was only Chaos and the Abyss, but then Gaia, the earth, willed herself into being, and with her first child, Ouranos, she began to have more children.

He looked up to the sun and thanked the God Helios for a bright and sunny day. “Pegaron!” The creature heard his name being called by the…

Gaia alone gave birth to Uranus and is also her husband. Together they made the Cyclops, the hecatoncheires and twelve Titans. Uranus imprisoned the Cyclopes and the hecatoncheires deep in Tartarus. Gaia was furious and plotted against him having one of her children kill him and Cronus was the only brave…

In Greek mythology, there is always a constant notion for power. The desire for power is associated with the father figure of a family. The father sets the tone for the family by making the rules and establishing their reputation. From the beginning of time, there has been a fear for loss of power, starting with the Earth and sky. Fear occurs when a father finds that one of his children is a threat to his throne. It also occurs when a father realizes that since he sabotaged his father,…

from here on? Laticus had all the answers to his question, which is did inform him on. Learning that Laticus had planned to kill Zeus had made him rage. Zeus knew he had to put this crazy shenanigan to an end. Zeus had telepathically communicated to Gaia for help. The ground around Zeus and Laticus had slowly started to rumble, which…
