The Greek Creation Mythology #2

With their concentrated frustration, the Titans attack their mother.

They rush at her, grab her and put her under pressure. Gaia suffers. She is exhausted and raging at the same time.

It can't go on like this.

It's her own fault.

Gaia calls for the revolte. Her children should fight against their father.

Nobody moves, nobody except the youngest of the Titans, Cronus.

He wants to take up the fight, with the help of his mother.

Without Uranus noticing, Gaia secretly makes a flint sickle and hands it over to her son. He just has to wait for a good moment and it comes fast. Uranus, the insatiable one, is drawn back to Gaia. Just as he's about to penetrate her, Cronus grabs his father's sexual part, cuts it off, with his left hand and throws it into the sea.

Uranus leaves Gaia abruptly and withdraws.

Finally they are separated. From now on Uranus remains the sky, forever high above the world.

The Titans, the Cyclopes and the Giants are free and can leave their mother's womb.

It is said that the raindrops that fall from the sky are nothing but Uranus tears, tears of pain, tears of repentance, tears of longing.

Uranus is defeated and Cronus at the power.

Soon he marries his sister Rheha and actually everything could be fine with it now, but as we all know a prince, once he's at the power, doesn't want to give it up any more. Warned by Gaia that one of his sons will push him from his throne one day, Cronus eats all his children as soon as Rhea has brought them into the world.

Desperate, the unhappy goddess can only try to escape the murderous delusion of her husband.

When she is pregnant again, she decides to flee and that is good because it is not some child that carries her under the heart but this time it is Zeus, he must not be killed.

Rhea flees.

She reaches the island of Crete, where she comes down quietly and secretly. The child entrusts her to nymphs, the gods who embody the life forces of nature, and then she returns back to Cronus.

Cronus knows that Rhea was pregnant and expects her to present the newborn to him. Rhea has also thought about it, instead of the baby she hands Cronus a stone wrapped in cloth. In fact, the gluttonous Titan lets himself be deceived and devours the stone. He has no idea that on the mountain of Crete he has a son, who one day will avenge his mother, free the brothers and deprive Cronus of his power to rule over the immortals instead of him.
