​The Greek gods

The Olympians

These are the first 6 gods, the offspring of Kronos and Rhea. These were the gods that overthrew the titans and destroyed Mt. Othrys. Kronos was told that one of his children would overthrow him day, so when Hestia, the first olympian, was born he swallowed her. He did the same to the next four, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon. Rhea grew tired of this and hid Zeus, hiding him in Mt. Ida on the island of Crete, where he was raised by nymphs. Rhea gave Kronos a rock hidden in baby clothes. He ate it at once. Years passed and Zeus returned, claiming to be a new titan. He gave Kronos a drink made of nectar and mustard. Kronos vomits all he kids out and because they are immortal they are alive and fully grown. Zeus and the gods run away and go to free the cyclopes and the hundred handed ones, who are being held in Tartarus, guarded by a beast called Kampi. They free them and they make the famous weapons; Hades' helm of darkness, Poseiden's trident and Zeus' Lightning bolt. They all attack the titans on Mt. Othrys and the force of the attack severed it in half, making Mt. Olympus the tallest mountain in Greece. The Titans Kronos, Hyperion, Krios, Koios, and Iapetus were banished to Tartarus. Atlas, the strongest titan, was forced to hold up the sky for eternity. The olympians had kids of their own and the council of twelve was made. And so the rivalries started...

Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth

​

Hestia was going about her normal business keeping people warm and making sure that families weren't fighting. Suddenly, she heard a ruckus from Olympus. She rushed there as quickly as possible. She found Ares swinging punches at Hermes. Hestia stepped in between them and yelled for them to stop. They stopped, as nobody wanted to hurt Hestia. Turns out Hermes stole one of Ares' spears, so Hestia asked Hephaestus to forge him a new one. Hermes then tricked Ares into taking it by saying it had magical powers. Hestia told all the gods that this was how things should work; a few small arguments but uniting in the end.

Demeter, Goddess of Agriculture

​

There once was a man, who never gave a sacrifice to Demeter. He was rich, and he built a huge castle in the middle of a forest, kicking out the local tribe. He returned from the village one day to find his castle infested with trees. He took out his anger on the local tribe, with some help from his friends. He came home to find Demeter sitting in his favourite chair. He tried to make her leave, but instead she turned the entire castle to rubble, leaving the man homeless. She sursed with only being able to eat spoiled food forever.

Hera, Goddess of Marriage

​

Hera was mad. Zeus was cheating on her, again! Not even a princess this time, just a mortal woman. Hera would smack Zeus, if he wasn't so powerful. But, she could hurt that woman... Hera disguised herself as an old lady and begged for food from the woman. The woman obliged. Hera followed her home. she tormented her by killing her unborn, and preventing her from ever having children again. That'll teach Zeus, she thought.
