The Legend Of Gods And Titans

4.Because he states “Jupiter alone of the Romans is king” and he is not fit for king

He was the husband of Ops and the father of Zeus, Jupiter, Hestia, Demeter, Posiedon, Hades, Pluto, and Hera. Saturn was the ruler of the gods. He found out that his son, Zeus, would be more powerful than himself, thus threatening his position. In effect, Saturn ate all of his children as soon as his wife conceived them. Thus, killing all chances of his rule being taken away. His wife tricked him and their son, Zeus, was born, and took the throne that was rightfully his.

In Homer’s original text of The Odyssey, the speaker portrays Odysseus as an extremely ardent leader. The speaker expresses this characteristic as Odysseus asks himself, “Rag of a man that I am, is this the end of me? I fear the goddess told it all too well, predicting great adversity at sea and far from home.”(5.309-312). Here the speaker allows Odysseus to ask himself a rhetorical question as it portrays himself as a leader who is still mortal and knows what suffrage he has at hand and is ready to take it on at full to get himself and his men home. Homer also portrays his cleverness and determination to get his men out of a difficult situation when they encounter Zeus’ son the Cyclops and when he is angered and hurt and asks Odysseus who the man is that did this to him, he replies, “My name is Nobody: mother father and friends, everyone calls me Nobody.”(9.394-399). This scene provides the readers with a repetitive, vivid and image-filled scene that shows that Odysseus using his mind as his weapon and that he would go as far as to lie to a son of the Gods after impaling him so as to remove his men from the situation and continue on with his journey. Homer again expresses the effect that Odysseus’ actions and leadership skills have had on people as even the Gods speak of him highly as Zeus speaks to Athena mentining how “Could I forget that kingly man Odysseus? There is no mortal half so wise; no mortal gave so much to the lords of the open sky."(1.84-86). Zeus asks himself another question which apparently past has stuck with the Gods which are the highest power and even Zeus, the king, has something to say of the great and iconic impact that Odysseus has somehow left on Mount Olympus. Along with Odysseus’ determination and ardency to set and complete a goal at hand for him, there is another side to him that is portrayed by the speaker, that is his confidence. Odysseus is no idiot and he knows where what his social standings are in society and that being the

When Saturn was a child, he and his siblings had been locked in the depths of the Earth. Saturn’s mother Gaia, Mother Earth, tasked him with killing her husband Uranus. Under the cover of night, Saturn killed his father; but when he died he spawned three new species. Erinyes or Furies, goddesses of vengeance, giants, who simply exist to fight and wage war, and nymphs, earth goddesses. Uranus also gave birth to one last child during his death: Venus, goddess of beauty. Uranus is actually a Greek deity, there is no Roman counterpart, making it the only planet to be named after Greek mythology rather than Roman. The discoverer of Uranus, Frederick Herschel, named the planet Georgium Sides after the king of England at the time. Fortunately, the name did not stick because citizens of other countries were not satisfied. Seeing an opportunity, Johann Bode suggested Uranus because it continued with the mythological theme. Uranus was also suggested because like Saturn is the father of Jupiter, Uranus is the father of Saturn. Uranus’s moons are uncharacteristically named after characters from English literature, such as Shakespeare’s many plays. Although, one of Shakespeare’s characters and Uranus’s moons overlap into the world of mythology: Cupid. Cupid is a character in Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens, but he is also the son of Venus and grandson of Uranus. In this example, and through

Another variable of this history says that Zeus, united forces with his brothers Poseidon and Hades for defeating his father and forced him to vomit up the other god's.

I may possibly the most famous of the Titans as I was king and leader of my brothers fighting against Uranus and eventually the Olympian Gods. Born of Uranus  and Gaia, I was the wiliest and youngest of their offspring and perhaps the most powerful. I would gain power by overthrowing my father and eventually lose it by being beaten by my son Zeus.

Long ago, in the ancient times, there lived the powerful gods of Olympus. They were ruled by the great god of the sky, Zeus. Zeus had two brothers, Poseidon and Hades. Hades dwelled in the underworld like a bear during hibernation, so he was never seen, but Poseidon was different. He was the god of the sea, water, and earthquakes, he wanted power, and enjoyed urging Zeus. One day, Poseidon was sick of all the power that Zeus had and decided to make a move.

The twelve Titans, children of Uranus (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth), were the group of gods immediately preceding the Olympian gods in Greek mythology. They arose to power when Cronus, in a plot with his mother and his brothers, castrated his father Uranus and took the rulership of Cosmos from him

"Then I don't yield, but please, will you be about it, for the love of Jupiter."

“You are in no danger,” he said, “for me and my people promise not to do you any harm. They call me King Pluto. I am kind of diamonds and of all other precious stones.”

When the Olympians made Zeus their king, they went to war with Cronus and his allies. When Cronus called for the titans to go to war only five of them actually did while the others were too afraid of the Olympians, There were daily battles that would last up to ten years or until one of the titans or the Olympians retreated. Gaia looking for a way to stop the war sought a the advice of an oracle in order to give Zeus an upper hand the oracle said he needs to forge an alliance with his uncles (three hundred handed giants known as Hecantonchires and three Cyclopes) who were both imprisoned in tartarus because Chronis was afraid that they would over throw him. Zeus immediately went down to Tartarus and freed them. The Cyclopes and the Hecantonchires were so grateful they made Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon one object each. For Zeus they forged thunder bolts, for Hades they forged him the helmet of darkness that makes the wearer invisible, and finally for Poseidon they made a triton that would become a symbol of the future sea

and a paranoid god, suppressing his children in order to maintain his power, because they thought they were a threat to him, in which they were. There is three tiers of gods, first generation, second generation, and then third generation. Uranus was apart of the first generation of gods. Gaia, primordial goddess of earth and immediate parent of Uranus is also a first generation god, she is also sexually unionized with her son, Uranus, that sexual union is what produced the 12 Titans, the most famous one being Cronus, who castrated Uranus. It is not often I get the chance to write about incest god sex and sons castrating fathers, thank you.

It was a windy morning up in space, as Zeus was out and about he had discovered something extraordinary; the Moon! He was sure he would need a proper protector for it! Zeus had thought about it for quite a while and he had came to the conclusion that he should have the finest warriors fight in a great battle in efforts to find the most superior guardian.

You made me get angry so that is what happened!” said Aphrodite The next day Zeus was thinking what he could do to make the city not angry with him. “We need to get someone to explain to them what happened!” Zeus said to himself “Who could I choose to go down there. Well water is next to their city, so how about Poseidon!”

He fears the oracle and wants to do it right by it. But in doing so he will seclude himself from his own people as well as his family. He even prays to God asking him to punish the murderer severely with no avail. "I pray that that man's life be consumed in evil and wretchedness… And as for me, this curse applies no less," ( 1112). He is sure that that the curse doesn't apply to him, so he is willing to announce this publicly. He doesn't know that the old man he killed was King Laois. His only concern at this time is to free the city from sickness. He later announces that the King if he had not been killed would have had children and he would act as Laois' son and avenge his father's death. "I say I take the son's part, just as though I were his son, to press the fight for him," ( 1112). Not only is he going to battle for the murdered King, but wants all the people in the city and damnation will be their reward. As he continues his search for knowledge, Oedipus brings the only man known to know the truth about the prophet Teiresias. Oedipus feels the truth will now be revealed and satisfaction will come to him. "How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in truth…," (1114). This speech from Teiresias is not well interpeted by Oedipus. He is raged. Oedipus wants Teiresias to speak up and tell what he knows but as
