List of Greek mythological figures - Wikipedia.
While reading the Treasury of Greek Mythology (Napoli pg. 33, and 79), I found out that Zeus’s father Cronus was the ruler of all gods (and goddesses) until Zeus took over and became higher than all the gods (and goddesses), and since Hera was Zeus’s wife it made her higher than all goddesses.
Hesiod named their first six sons and six daughters the Titans, the three one-hundred-handed giants the Hekatonkheires, and the one-eyed giants the Cyclopes. Uranus imprisoned Gaia's youngest children in Tartarus, deep within Earth, where they caused pain to Gaia. She shaped a great flint-bladed sickle and asked her sons to castrate Uranus.
Greek Mythology by Shaan Khan Today I am going to tell you about the titans, gods, and demigods in Greek Mythology. Now, let us get started with the titans. It started when Gaea and Uranus fell in love and got married. Then they had children. They were the 12 titans, 3 cyclopes, and 3 “hundred-handed giants”.
This is a list of gods, goddesses, people and other figures from Greek mythology.They are sorted into sections below. The immortals include gods (deities), spirits and giants.Being immortal means that they live forever.The mortals include heroes, kings, Amazons and other people. The list does not include creatures. These figures are described by ancient writers, the oldest of which are Homer.
Ouranos was defeated and Castrated by Cronus who himself was defeated by Zeus. If Gaia was so strong, she'd never need Cronus's help to fight Ouranos. (Plus Ouranos was who imprisoned the hundred handed ones in the first place, so they obviously aren't stronger than him.) I'm not saying the primordials are weak or anything.
Uranus and Gaia had three sets of children. There were the Hundred-handed ones, or Hekatonchieres, the Cyclopes, and the Titans. Uranus thought the Hundred-handed ones and the Cyclopes were hideous, so he threw them into Tartarus. Gaia did not appreciate this and told Cronus to kill Uranus.
The are lots of contradictions in myths (That's why it would be impossible to make one 'canon' family tree, for example) The ancient writers and poets did not create the myths (most of the time, there are few exceptions), they worked with the myths. Greek theater was very important, most of the Greek texts we can read today are the plays that.
