Titanomachy is a testament to the power of the gods and the consequences of
defying the natural order. Experience the thrilling battle that determined the fate of

After the fall of Uranus, Cronus took the throne. He and another titan named Ria
gave birth to some children who afterward became the Olympian gods. Ria received
her mother Gia's love and affection while Cronus was haunted by the fear of losing
the throne like his father so he devoured his children just after their birth. Ria
begged to spare her children but failed to soften the hard heart of the tyrant titan
and all her efforts failed. She promised herself that she wouldn't let any of her be
devoured by the monster. Ria became pregnant again but this time she had a plan.
She hid herself on the island of Crete where she intended to give birth away to
Cronus. She gave birth to a child having incredible power which made her realize
that the women of birth had woven a glorious future for her child and the child was
none other than Zeus.
He was left with the nymphs and Caribbeans who beat their shields to muffle the
supreme cry of the divine baby. Ria took a stone wrapped it with a cloth and gave it
to her husband who was waiting for another child to devour. As he devoured the
stone Ria wept on the ground but this time her tears were of joy to be able to save
her child. On the island of Crete Zeus was breastfed with the milk of
amalfia/amothia goat that strengthened him every day. He was informed by a
powerful eagle that later became his sacred bird. As Zeus ripened to adolescence he
was filled with grandeur and the urge to free his siblings imprisoned in the stomach
of Cronus. He was unexpectedly visited by Mitus, an intelligent being, who offered
him the divine elixir that would sap Cronus's strength. Zeus dressed as an ordinary
cup bearer offered Cronus the elixir to quench his thirst that made him regurgitate
his devoured kids with the stone.
First came Hestia, the goddess of heart and warmth, then came Demeter the goddess
of agriculture followed by Hera goddess of marriage, and next was Hades the god of
the underworld. Lastly Poseidon the god of the sea, these were the first six Olympian
gods.

Releasing his siblings, Zeus and his siblings gave rise to a battle to overthrow the
tyranny of Cronus the war is known as Titanomachy. While in Mount Othris
Cronus summoned his titan allies to the great battle where Atlas was given the
responsibility of general. The plain of the Thessaly was the battlefield between the
gods and Titans. Titans imposed themselves on the gods which led Zeus to look for
reinforcement in Tartarus where he released a one-eyed creature named Cyclops
which in a gesture of gratitude made weapons for the gods. Zeus received his
lightning bolt and Poseidon was gifted his majestic Trident capable of making
tsunamis and earthquakes, while Hades got the helm of terror that gave him
invisibility. However, the scale seemed to tip on the Titans' side then Zeus decided to
free the hecatonceris, giants with 100 arms and 50 heads. These horrendous
creatures had a remarkable impact on the battle. Zeus gathered all his power and
struck it at Cronus's head which made the earth tremble. Cronus and his allies were
condemned to a perpetual existence in Tartarus. Atlas was condemned to a special
punishment to bear the weight of the celestial sphere throughout eternity. Afterwards,
Zeus crowned Hera as his queen, marking the dawn of a new age atop Mount
Olympus. From their heavenly throne, the Olympian gods ruled with unmatched
power and grace. Together, they shaped the destiny of mortals and immortals alike,
their reign etching legends in the sky for all to behold. With Zeus and Hera at the
helm, Olympus flourished, a beacon of divine strength and unity in the cosmos.
