    The Titanomachy

    The Titanomachy was a war between the Gods and the Titans. This war lasted 10 years with no

    clear winner. However, the Gods defeated the Titans a little bit after that. According to

    GreekGodsandGoddesses.net, the series of wars in the Titanomachy took place in Thessaly. The

    Gods were in control of Mount Olympus while the Titans controlled Mount Othrys. In

    GreekMyths-GreekMythology.com, they explained how the Titans were a powerful race of


    deities and came to power of the world when they overthrew their father Uranus who was the

    first ruler of the universe. During the war, the Gods and the Titans fought long and hard battles

    for over a decade. After Zeus freed the Cyclops, they rewarded him with his very popular

    lightning bolt. Then, the Gods finally defeated the Titans with the help of older powers. Zeus

    was named God of the sky and thunder after his great leadership in the war.

    In this picture, Zeus is seen defending the Gods and attacking the Titans with his lightning bolt.

    The enemy is a three headed snake known as the Hydra.

    Cronus

    Cronus was a ruthless Titan that fought alongside the Titans in the Titanomachy. He was the

    most popular Titan because of his power and how he ruled the universe. He came to power by

    overthrowing his father, Uranus, who was ruler of the universe before him. According to

    GreekGodsandGoddesses.net, Cronus envied the power of Uranus, who was the ruler of the

    universe at the time. Gaia was angry at Uranus because he put her children in Tartarus, which

    imprisoned them. Gaia convinced Cronus and his Titan brothers to overthrow Uranus. Only

    Cronus was willing to overthrow him. Once it was all over, Uranus’s blood fell onto the Earth

    which created Gigantes, Erinyes, and Meliae. The blood that fell onto the sea created Aphrodite,

    the God of love and beauty. Cronus then incarcerated the Cyclopes and the Hecatonchires.

    Cronus and Rhea, his sister, took over power together. After this is when Cronus heard about the
    prophecy that one of his sons would overthrow him. Then we know that Zeus overthrew Cronus

    and the Titanomachy started.
