---------------------------------------------
Note:

There was once the rule of Uranus and Gaia.
Uranus- The Sky and Father of the Titans
Gaia- The Earth and Mother of the Titans

Then there was the Gigantonomarchy, a battle held of which Cronos overthrew his father and the ruler.

Cronos was infamous for his response to his parents telling him of what will come of him by his own children.
They told him that that his own children would overtake him the way he overtook them.
With this, Cronos then begin to devour his own children by Rhea.
Then, Rhea became pregnant with baby Zeus; she hid him away from Cronos to protect him from being consumed like his older siblings.
Once grown, Zeus got Cronos to hack up his 2 brothers; Poseidon and and Hades.
Together they began the Titanomarchy; an epic battle between gods and titans.
The Gods were just able to defeat the titans and Zeus too over as the king and ruler banishing the titans to the pits of Tartarus.
Tartarus- a pit or void, the deepest part of the underworld (the trashcan of the gods)
Also during this time the rest of Zeus's siblings had been freed.
Zeus and his 2 brothers (referred to in the Percy Jackson series as the Big Three ;D) divided the world into kingdoms they would rule.
Zeus- Ruler of the Sky
Poseidon- Ruler of the Ocean
Hades- Ruler of the Underworld


Within temptation, I fall behind.
