 Uranus and Cronus hated each other and his children in
dark places of the earth.

Gaea asked for the help of her children to fought for

Uranus.

He grabbed his father and castred him and threw the

genitals into the ocean.

From the sea foam where his

genitals fell came...
Aphrodite
 Cronus, the new Lord of the Universe, took his
sister Rhea for his bride.

Gaea and Uranus both prophesied that he would

be overthrown by a son.

To avoid this, Cronus swallowed each of his

children as they were born.

Rhea carried the last child to Crete and gave

Cronus a rock to swallow instead.

in a great war and rescued
his siblings.

Soon the Earth lacked only two things: man and
animals
He summoned his sons Prometheus and Epimetheus
to go to Earth and create men and animals and give
them each a gift.
Epimetheus worked on the animals and used all the
gifts.
 Prometheus pitied mankind and
decide to steal from Mt. Olympus
Zeus saw what was happening.
He ordered his son to be chained to a
mountain and for a vulture to eat
Prometheus’ liver.
Zeus asked one of his sons,
Hephaestus (God of Craftsmen) to make
a lovely image out of clay.
 The lovely image was called as
Pandora.
All gods and goddesses gave her a
gift.
Zeus gave him a box and he ordered
her never to open.
Zeus also presented her to
Epimetheus as a wife.
 Because of her too much
curiosity, she opened the
box.
Out of the box flew all the
horrors - pain, sickness, envy,
greed, suffering, hunger and
jealousy.
Only one of these gifts was
good and this gift was hope.
