Eros gave birth to: The Day And The Light

Day and Light had two children: Gaia or the Earth

And The Heavens Called Uranus

The first children of Gaia and Uranus were monsters-- *3 had 100 hands, 50 heads *3 were Cyclops “wheel- eyed” *12 were Titans

The 12 Titans Cronus Oceanus Iapetus Hyperion Crius Coeus Rhea Thetis Dione Mnemosyne Themis Phoebe

Titans Deifications of various aspects of nature All lineage may be traced back to the Titans Usually considered in pairs, since there are 6 male and 6 female Inevitable, incestuous matings produce cosmic offspring

Oceanus and Tethys Oceanus and Tethys (te’ this) produced spirits of rivers, waters, and springs, known as the Oceanids

Coeus and Phoebe Coeus (se’ us) and Phoebe gave birth to Leto, who was the mother of Apollo and Artemis (through Zeus) Coeus was Titan of intelligence

Hyperion and Theia Hi-per’ i-on and the’a Hyperion is god of the sun Parents of Helios (the Sun), Selene (the Moon), and Eos (the Dawn). Theia means goddess

Iapetus (i-ap’ e-tus) Mortal Life Father of Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Atlas

Mnemosyne “ne-mos’ i-ne” Personification of Memory She is mother of the 9 Muses (through Zeus)

Themis Embodiment of divine order, law, custom Oracular abilities

A Bad Father Uranus- the Heavens hated his children He imprisoned the monsters as soon as they were born Gaia was upset and asked for help Her son Cronus (the sky-god) wounded his father “terribly”. From his blood other monsters were born: the Furies, ? Venus ?

Cronus and Rhea married. But Cronus feared a child would overthrow him as king, So he ate his first five children!!!

One Child was Saved! Before Cronus could eat the last baby Rhea hid the baby and Gave Cronus a Rock to eat instead!

When the baby grew up He came back and with the help of his grandmother forced his father to disgorge his siblings

This was Zeus Called Jupiter by Romans He became King of the gods
