Slide1

In the beginning…

…there was chaos

1Slide2

And out of chaos….

Gaea, Mother Earth, was created

2Slide3

And Gaea gave birth to Uranus, the sky

3Slide4

Uranus rained down on Gaea…

And plants, animals, and rivers appeared

4Slide5

Gaea and Uranus had many children…..

Their first born were the twelve Giant Titans, six boys and six girls.

5Slide6

Later more children were born…..

Three were the mighty Cyclops, one-eyed giants

And three were the Hecatoncheires, monsters with a hundred arms and fifty heads

6Slide7

Uranus hated the Cyclops and the Hecatoncheires, because they were ugly

And he threw them into Tartarus – the deepest pit of the underworld.

7Slide8

Gaea was furious. She urged the Titans to overthrow their father and rescue their brothers in Tartarus.

8Slide9

Only Cronus, the youngest , was brave enough.

He attacked Uranus with a sickle and banished him from earth.

Cronus replaced his father as Lord of the Universe. But he was cruel and did not free his brothers from Tartarus.

Cronus married his sister, Rhea,

and they had many children.

9Slide10

Cronus was afraid that one of his own children might overthrow him just as he had overthrown his father.

So as each child was born, he swallowed it whole. (Remember he was a giant Titan and his children were much smaller. )

Also the children were gods (immortals) so they could not die. They remained alive and grew inside his stomach. (Imagine the indigestion.)

10Slide11

Rhea was horrified and finally she tricked Cronus by feeding him a rock wrapped in a blanket.

Zeus was raised on the island of Crete by gentle woodland nymphs who fed him honeyed milk. When the baby would cry, the Curettes – Zeus’s guards – clashed their weapons to hide the sound from Cronus.

11Slide12

Zeus grew into one of the strongest

gods and Rhea, his mother, wanted him to overthrow Cronus. Rhea gave Cronus a drink that

made him throw up the stone and his unharmed children – among those were: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon.

12Slide13

The children were all reunited and gratefully joined their brother. Zeus freed their uncles (the monsters) from Tartarus, and together they prepared to fight the Titans.

The cyclops made weapons.

13Slide14

They armed Zeus with a thunderbolt that shook the universe.

14Slide15

They made Poseidon a trident that could split the seas.

15Slide16

They gave Hades a helmet of darkness that made him invisible to his enemies.

16Slide17

For ten years a war

raged between the old gods (Titans) and the new gods (Olympians). At last Cronus and the Titans were defeated and thrown into Tartarus to be guarded by their own hundred-armed brother.

17Slide18

Mother-Earth , Gaea, was finally at peace.

The universe was divided among the three brothers.

Zeus was King of the gods and heaven and earth.

Poseidon became god of the seas.

And

Hades became god of the underworld.

18Slide19

The Cyclops (children of the Titans, Cronus and Rhea) built the “Olympians” a palace on Mt. Olympus.

Zeus lived there with his brothers, sisters, six of his children, and Aphrodite (goddess of love) forever.

The gods dined on nectar and ambrosia, the food and drink of the gods and they could change shape or form to mingle and control the mortals on earth.
