CHAOS First, there was nothing but confusion…..

Many versions exist, but generally speaking, out of Chaos, emerged 2 beings…

Gaea and Uranus have many children, but the twelve most important were called the TITANS

12 TITANS OCEANUS god of rivers COEUS CRIUS IAPETUS father of Prometheus HYPERION first sun god CRONUS Youngest and strongest TETHYS ruled the sea PHOEBE first goddess of moon RHEA “great mother” THEMIS mother of Prometheus and Fates MNEMOSYNE memory; mother of Muses THEA moon GOD S GODDESSES

From Gaea and Uranus Also emerged Monsters like… Giants (Hecatonchires) Who had 100 hands and 50 heads AND 3 Cyclops (one-eyed monsters)

Now, Uranus hated all of the children, but especially the monsters…and these he sent to Tartarus (the Underworld).

Gaea asked the Titans to rescue the monsters, but only Cronus agreed to help…. and he overthrew his father…

Cronus (now the ruler of the earth) and Rhea were married and had 6 children…..

Cronus & Rhea had Hestia Demeter Hera Hades Poseidon Zeus 3 daughters and 3 sons

Cronus now feared that his own children would destroy him…so he swallowed all of them but Zeus, who escaped.

When Zeus grew up, he and Rhea waged war on Cronus and Cronus “disgorged” his children…yes, it means vomited ! Cronus was defeated and Zeus divided the world with his brothers and sisters.

THE OLYMPIANS HADES Became in charge of the Underworld, the land of the dead. (not representative of hell or Satan, by the way) He is a loner Symbol: cerberus, bident

THE OLYMPIANS POSEIDON In charge of the seas but is also associated with horses, bulls and earthquakes Symbol: trident

THE OLYMPIANS ZEUS In charge of the heavens and ruler of the gods and men from Mt. Olympus. Symbol: thunderbolt

THE OLYMPIANS HERA Sister and wife to Zeus, she is the greatest of all Greek goddesses. Goddess of marriage and childbirth Symbol: peacock

THE OLYMPIANS HESTIA goddess of hearth and home Symbol: urn
