According to the tale, Gaia was angry because Uranos had imprisoned some of their eldest children in Earth's own depths. For this reason, she asked her remaining children to destroy Uranus.
Cronos was the only one of her children brave enough to take action against him.He lay in wait for his father, and when he wounded him gravely (by chopping of his penis), Cronos then took hold of his genitalia and threw them as far as the eye could see, it then landed in the sea and traces of sperm and blood combined with the sea water to make sea foam, furies and , weirdly enough, the god of love Aphrodite. After the fight, Uranos cursed him in such a way that his children, being the Olympians, as they were later to be called, would kill him and overcome him, which was true and eventually happened after the ten year war.
After driving his father away, Kronos became king of the universe and the underworld , he did this by stealing the powers of the other Titans though he never controlled the earth AKA his mother Gaia, who cowered away in the depths of Tartarus. He remained so for eons, alongside his sister and queen, Rhea. Kronos prevented it by swallowing each of his children the day they were born. But when Rhea bore her sixth child, named Zeus, she had him secretly transported to Crete.
Rhea wrapped a stone in baby's clothes, and handed it to Kronos who promptly swallowed it. Later Kronos threw up the children that he ate and then there was a 10 year war against Cronus and the other Titans. The gods eventually won and overthrew the Titans. Zeus then cut up his father Cronus and threw him into the pit of Tartarus.
Kronos ate his babies, because his father, Uranus, had prophesized that Kronos' children would overthrow him and take the throne. This is what Kronos had done to Uranus.
Zeus overthrew his father because Cronus tried to kill him and his siblings. Cronus feared that his sons would one day rise up against him and destroy him, so he ate them as soon as they were born.
His strengths include determinedness, rebelliousness, and being a good keeper of time, while his weaknesses include jealousy of his own children and violence.
Cronus is a boy's name of Greek origin, meaning “to rule” and “command” or “to cut.” Cronus was the youngest of the Greek Titans, the son of Gaia, Mother Earth, and Uranus, Father Sky.
To insure his safety Cronus ate each of the children as they were born. This worked until Rhea, unhappy at the loss of her children, tricked Cronus into swallowing a rock, instead of Zeus. When he grew up Zeus would revolt against Cronus and the other Titans, defeat them, and banish them to Tartarus in the underworld.
After courting her unsuccessfully he changed himself into a disheveled cuckoo. When Hera took pity on the bird and held it to her breast, Zeus resumed his true form and ravished her. Hera then decided to marry him to cover her shame, and the two had a resplendent wedding worthy of the gods.
Although no god is explicitly said to “die” in the Iliad, we do read that gods can feel physical pain. In a few extreme circ*mstances, they can even be wounded by human weapons and bleed.
Hades was only depicted outside of the underworld once in myth, and even that is believed to have been an instance where he had just left the gates of the underworld, which was when Heracles shot him with an arrow as Hades was attempting to defend the city of Pylos.
Throughout Greek mythology, Eris is portrayed as a mean figure and a troublemaker. She is avoided by many of her fellow gods and goddesses. The only god who can tolerate her is her brother Ares, who often rides into battle with her and rejoices in the horrors of war alongside her.
Much like Hades, Poseidon did not like Zeus being regarded as the supreme god. He felt that he should be equally as powerful, if not more so, than Zeus. Because of his envy, Poseidon would often plan ways to overthrow Zeus, making the king of the gods feel threatened by his brother.
No, absolutely not. Hades loves and respects Zeus like a proper elder brother. In fact, he willingly chose the Underworld as his dominion, as sort of a way to keep a close watch on the Titans and ensure they never escaped.
In a vast war called the Titanomachy, Zeus and his older brothers and sisters, with the help of the Hecatoncheires and Cyclopes, overthrew Cronus and the other Titans. Afterwards, many of the Titans were confined in Tartarus.
Kronos' scythe is an extremely powerful weapon. Because of its blade, which is made of half steel and half celestial bronze, it can harm both mortals and immortals alike. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Kronos' relatives abstained from visiting him due to their avid fear of the scythe.
In Greek mythology, Zeus is replaced by a rock when his father Cronus attempts to eat him. Zeus' mother, Rhea, had heard a prophecy that one of her children would overthrow Cronus. To prevent this prophecy from coming true, Cronus devoured each of Rhea's children as they were born.
As a result, although he sired the gods Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon by Rhea, he devoured them all as soon as they were born to prevent the prophecy.
Cronus grabed his father and castrated him, with the stone sickle, throwing the severed genitales into the ocean. The fate of Uranus is not clear. He either died, withdrew from the earth, or exiled himself to Italy. As he departed he promised that Cronus and the Titans would be punished.
Cronus married his sister Rhea, and they had six children: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus, father of gods and men. However, Cronus was a troubled and paranoid father, as his parents had warned him that his own children would turn against him, just as Cronus had turned against his father.
