Legends: Fanciful tales woven around real people and real happenings. In some cases so exaggerated as to become MYTHOLOGY Folk Tales: Entirely fictitious stores with the spirit of fairy tales, full of little people and spirits. They appear primarily to the young. Modern Myths: Monster tales, fantasy, science fiction or the exaggerated tales spread by the admirers of movie stars, politicians, and athletes.

Out of the chaos emerged two beings, Gaea (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Heavens) Whose children were the 12 Titans.

Uranus hated all of his children but particularly the monsters and these were sent to Tartarus (underworld) Gaea asked Titans to rescue the monsters but only Cronus agreed to help and he overthrew his father. From Uranus’ blood came Giants who are more like men instead of gods and were fierce fighters and Erinyes (Furies) who had hair of writhing serpents and they were winged Cronus and Rhea we were married and became the rulers of earth, and had 6 children 3 daughters names Hestia, Demeter and Hera. 3 Sons Hades, Poseidon and Zeus.

Cronus now feared that his children would destroy him– so he swallowed all but Zeus who escaped. When he grew up he and Rhea waged war on Cronus Along battle followed– Cronus disgorged his children. The monsters helped Zeus and gave him weapons. Cronus, who was assisted by some of the Titans, was defeated. So Zeus divided the world with his brothers. Hades in charge of the underworld. Poseidon in charge of oceans, also horses, and earthquakes. Zeus in charge of gods and men from Mt. Olympus.
