Monologue

How dare you wake up the most powerful titan of all time, Cronus? I am
famous for my strength, power, and determination. I am the titan of time and was
the King and leader of my brothers and sisters fighting against my father Ouranos,
and eventually the Olympian gods. Born of the same Ouranos, God of the Sky, and
Gaia the Mother of earth, I was sharp-witted and the youngest of their offspring;
many would say the most powerful. I wanted to overthrow my father because he
imprisoned me and my siblings' in Gaia, so I took a scythe and castrated him. It
was also destined that my children would overthrow me, like I did my father, so I
ate them as they were born so they could not kill me. One of my sons escaped
because my wife Rhea took him to the Island of Crete and gave birth to him there.
After that Zeus left Gaia and he was raised By Nymphs.After all that when Zeus
was strong enough, he came and gave me an emetic which made me vomit the
children I had swallowed. Poseidon, Hades and Zeus came and overthrew me
after I regurgitated them. This is a moment I prefer not to remember.If you wish
to find more stories of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and my other children take a walk
around this pantheon. Now leave me alone you feeble mortals.
