We’ve heard of all the glory and fame that surrounded the Greek Mythology. What makes for a good story though is the whacky stuff
and Greek Mythology delivers and how!
We’ve all had tiffs with our parents or relatives at some point in our lives but Greek Mythology tiffs are not our typical scenes. Cronus was the son of Uranus and Gaia. Gaia was also Uranus’ mother(it gets weirder). He takes his sister Rhea as his queen and
they both rule over the world(runs in the family). Then his parents warn him that one of his children would bring him his downfall (apart
from more incest that is). He then starts devouring his children one by one.Â
But Rhea hoodwinks him and gives a rock in place of Zues for Cronus to devour. And fulfilling the prophecy made by Cronus’ parents, Zues comes back and hoaxes Cronus into taking a potion that makes him vomit Zues’s brothers and sisters devoured by Cronus resulting in a grand war that leaves the titans defeated and being cast into the Tartarus.Â
Next time you get into a tiff with your family, you know it could be worse.
