Greek Mythology Myths – traditional stories of the Greek Gods / Goddesses. Most are related and each has their own story or myth! Gods could even take on human emotions like love, hate or jealousy

Origins of the gods The god of the heavens (Uranus) and the earth (Gaia) had several children, known as the Titans.

One of the Titans, Chronus, was so afraid that his children would overthrow him that he swallowed them whole when they were born. He eventually swallowed his first five children… Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter and Hestia.

When Chronus’ wife, Rhea, had her sixth child (Zeus) she wanted to put an end to this. She gave Chronus a stone wrapped up like a baby, which caused him to vomit up his children.

Zeus and his brothers and sisters overthrew Chronos. Zeus became the king of the gods but agreed to share the world with his brothers: – Poseidon- oceans and the sea – Hades - underworld/afterlife (dead) – Zeus - sky/heavens

Zeus and his siblings…
