What This is About… The story of Zeus overthrowing his father, Cronus, as a result of the war between the Olympian gods and the Titans.

Humble Beginnings Zeus was born on Crete. After a short time, he obtained a magic potion from a female titan named Metis. Zeus had his mother arrange for him to become his father’s cupbearer.

The Magic Potion Zeus gives the potion to his father, Cronus, and it forces him to spit up the rest of Zeus’ brothers and sisters.

Generals Rising Zeus’ five siblings are grateful and appoint him as the leader of their group, the Olympian gods. Cronus fears Zeus’ soon-to-be great power. Cronus gets his fellow Titans together.

Titanomachy Zeus His siblings Prometheus Cyclopes Hekatonchires Cronus Titans led by Atlas

Gigantomachy Zeus Giants, sons of Gaia Typhon Otus and Ephialtes

Anthropomorphic Gods Human in form an character Idealized mortals endowed with - physical beauty - intense emotions - superhuman powers to: * change shape * become invisible * fly

Divine anatomy ICHOR = divine blood NECTAR = divine drink AMBROSIA = divine food

Olympians Chthonic Deities Twelve major deities Dwelling on Mt. Olympus Gods of the Earth

Nymphs Female spirits who animate aspects of nature Not necessarily immortal NAIADS inhabit waters DRYADS inhabit trees

FATES Personifications of Destiny Parents: Zeus & Themis / Night & Erebus CLOTHO: spins out the thread of life LACHESIS: measures the thread ATROPOS: cuts the thread

14 MAJOR GREEK DEITIES 6 Children of Cronus and Rhea: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades Demeter, Hestia, Hera 7 children of Zeus Hephaestus, Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Heremes, Athena, Dionysus, Aphrodite

A Reason to Fight Titan women do not join Cronus, and two titan men, Prometheus and Epimetheus join the Olympians instead of Cronus. He chooses Atlas to lead the battle between them.

The Battle of the Olympians The Olympian Gods and Titans fought for ten years, and the battle became a stalemate. Gaea advised Zeus to free the Cyclopes and get them on his side.

A Hundred-Headed and One-Eyed Unfair Advantage Zeus travels to the Underworld in a place called Tartarus. He kills the beast that guards their prison and releases them. In return for rescuing them, they ally with the Olympians, and give Zeus the upper hand.

The Rewards The Titans give Zeus the power over thunder and lightning. They give Hades the helm of darkness and Poseidon a Trident.

The Final Days Hades used his power of darkness to steal Cronus’ weapons while Poseidon came at him with his trident. Zeus struck at Cronus with lightning.

Fall of the Titans The Olympian gods won the war, and the defeated Titans were sent to Tartarus. Atlas was made to hold up the sky.
