A dark tale which proves not even gods are perfect. The arguments, the love, the lust, the betrayals...it all mixed to create the family brought upon the world by almighty Chaos, who produced Gaia and Uranus who bore deep-swirling Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, gold-crowned Phoebe and lovely Tethys. After them was born Cronus the wily, youngest and most terrible of their children, and he hated his lusty sire.
Uranus considered Cronos monstrous, and imprisoned him in the bowels of the Earth. Cronos was aided by the Hecatonchires and Cyclopes, who then set upon his father, castrated him, and set himself as king of the gods, with Rhea as his wife and queen.
Rhea gave birth to a new generation of gods to Cronos, but, in fear that they too would eventually overthrow him, he swallowed them all one by one. Only Zeus was saved: Rhea gave Cronus a stone in swaddling clothes in his place, and placed the infant Zeus in Crete to be guarded by the Kouretes.
Once Zeus reached adulthood, he subdued Cronus by wile rather than force, using a potion concocted with the help of Gaia, his grandmother, to forcibly cause Cronus to vomit up Zeus's siblings. A war between younger and older gods commences, in which Zeus is aided by the Hecatonchires, Gigantes, and Cyclopes, who have once again been freed from Tartarus. Zeus wins after a long struggle, and casts many of the Titans down into Tartarus.
The Olympians gained their supremacy in the world of gods after Zeus led his siblings to victory in war with the Titans; Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Hades were siblings; all other Olympians are usually the children of Zeus and Hera. Life has been peaceful for all of them, except the occasional squabbles between Ares & Athena, and Apollo & Artemis.
Today, in our time--2007--the Gods and Goddesses take on much more modern appearances, and are happy with their lives. Meanwhile, the Titans are in prison, plotting their revenge, and som are free, while others are trying still to get out. With Hades' alert, Olympians are placed on lockdown mode, with limited visits to the Mortal Realm and the Underworld, as the Titans have taken that over. Now, the Gods have to prepare for a second war between themselves and the now-stronger Titans.
