The Creation

The Creation 

In the beginning there was only Chaos. From Chaos there was born a goddess called Gaea. Gaea was the earth mother, the mother of all being to come. Gaea soon gave birth to Ouranos, the sky. Ouranos and Gaia gave birth to the Cyclopes and the Hekatonkhires. Ouranos, who had heard a prophecy that one of his sons  would overthrow him, cast them into Tartarus, the endless abyss. Gaea and Ouranos had twelve more children, the Titans.



Gaea resented Ouranos for throwing her children into the abyss so she asked her sons to kill Ouranos. The only Titan brave enough to take on this mission was the youngest, Kronos. Gaea gave Kronos a scythe, so Kronos took it and laid an ambush. Kronos chopped Ouranos into small pieces and threw them into Tartarus, which led to The Birth of Zeus.
