Greek God's and Goddesses

• The Story Of Kronos
• Kronos was the king of the Titans (elder gods, and first divine rulers). He feared that his children were going to overthrow him. So to prevent that Kronos ate his children. Except for his youngest son Zeus, who was hidden by his mother Rhea. In place of Zeus Rhea gave Kronos a rock to eat instead. Later when Zeus was older he tricked his father into eating mustard and wine so that he would regurgitate the children that he ate. Since the children were immortal they had grown up in Kronos's stomach undigested. There then was a big fight that the gods won, with the help of Cyclopes. Afterward's they sliced Kronos into pieces with his own scythe and placed his remains in Tartarus which is the darkest part of the Underworld.
