6. Saturn Devours His Children, Franciso Goya, c. 1815
Cronus swallows the Olympians:
Demeter/Ceres, Hera/Juno,
Hestia/Vesta,Hades/Pluto, Poseidon/Neptune,
but not Zeus!
“Late in life, suffering from deafness, witness to many horrors, he retired to his house and covered the walls with nightmarish devil-worshippers, subhuman monsters, and other haunting images, including a representation of Saturn devouring his children.”
Begin telling story of Cronus and Rhea.
Cronus is acting out of fear of a successor, predicted by his own father Ouranos
Note how he has now transitioned from the role of trickster to ogre -> he has become his father!
Rhea is distraught at the horrific treatment of her children and seeks out help from Gaia and Ouranos; Gaia supplies her with a solution to her problem.
Note the ambivalence or ambiguity of Gaia, who had previously helped Cronus reach his current position.
She is instructed by her parents to travel to Crete to give birth to her next child.

7. Zeus Against Cronus: The Battle with the Titans
Zeus overthrows Cronus
The stone vomited out and became used as the omphalos in Delphi
omphalos: bellybutton of world
Angry with this outcome the Titans
attack Zeus the other Olympians:
Titanomachy
Somehow Zeus bests Cronus, although Hesiod is rather vague on how.
one tradition holds that Metis offers up an emetic and once the other Olympians are discharged they dispose of Cronus together
Titans take up residency on one mountain; the Olympians move into Mt. Olympus
Battles rage for 10 years until:

10. esse aut non esse?
Like other Latin verbs, ‘to be’ has 4 principal parts.
sum (I am), esse (to be), fuī (I was), futurus (about to be)
From the infinitive we get the derivative essence and from the 4th part future.
The verb ‘to be’ in Latin is irregular just as it is in English.
N.B. I am, you are, he is (where is a stem to be found in that mess?)

11. esse aut non esse?
So, as with a lot of Latin, you’ll have to rely on memorization:
N.B. Although the stem changes, the personal endings are familiar. Sg
Trans Pl
1st
sum
I am
sumus
We are
2nd es
You are
estis
Y’all are
3rd
est
He/she/it is
sunt
They are

12. esse aut non esse?
Remember that there are two basic types of sentences:
Action Verb: The goddess (S) is watching (AV)the sailor (DO). Dea (Nom) nautam (Acc) spectat (AV).
Linking Verb: Diana and Minerva (S) are (LV) goddesses (PN). Diana et Minerva (Nom) deae (Nom) sunt (LV).
Forms of ‘to be’ are used in the formation of the second type of sentence. Try to translate these examples:
A queen and a daughter are women.
Rēgīna et fīlia sunt fēminae.
I am a goddess.
Dea sum.
We are farmers.
Agricolae sumus.

13. Know Your Place!
Certain prepositions are followed by a noun in the accusative to express motion towards or explain where to.
Examples are ad, in, and sub:
Dea ad silvam ambulat.
The goddess is walking towards the forest.
Agricola familiam in vīllam vocat.
The farmer is calling his family into the villa.
Sub prōvinciam nāvigō.
I am sailing up to the province.
As a general rule, a preposition with an accusative has a tendency to express the place to which one is headed and is called by this name.

14. Know Your Place!
Certain prepositions are followed by a noun in the ablative to express where something occurs, occurred, or will occur.
Examples are in and sub:
Piscēs sub aquā habitant.
Fish live under water.
Ursae in terrā habitant.
She-bears live on land.
When an ablative is used with a preposition to express this sort of idea, it is called Ablative of Place Where.

16. Know Your Place!
Certain prepositions are followed by a noun in the ablative to express motion away from an object or place.
Examples are ā/ab, ē/ex, and dē:
Puellās ā vīllīs vocāmus.
We are calling the girls from their villas.
Nautae ē viā ambulant.
The sailors walk out of the street.
Dē patriā nāvigās.
You are sailing down from your country.
When an ablative is used with a preposition to express this sort of idea, it is called Ablative of Place from Which.
