Zeus had an affair with someone else Hera was angry That's it, that's greek mythology

The drama and scandals in Greek mythology are more interesting than the Kardashians

Hera: protecter of marriage Zeus: keeps cheating with another woman 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

'He was born lame and so his mother decided to throw him off into the sea to drown.' Well, nice to know someone else had it harder than me lol

beautiful goddess exists Zeus: it’s free real estate

A god: is born Their parent(s): so you have chosen death.

I love how they equate Ares with forces of evil and Aphrodite with forces of good. Aphrodite was one of the most petty of all the gods and goddesses, personifying vanity, jealousy, and selfishness. But because she was pretty, she gets a pass. Hestia, the eldest and one of the kindest, gentlest, most compassionate of all the gods and goddesses, barely gets a mention. This still speaks directly to the human condition, no matter how "enlightened" we think we've become.

Thanks for explaining this. My previous lack of understanding of Greek mythology was always my Achilles' elbow.

Kratos: “This is all so confusing. I’ll just kill everyone.”

Kronos: i’m here to eat my son Rhea: here’s a rock Kronos: yes. This is my son.

Just started reading the lightning thief, so I really needed this. Thank you!

He forgot to add how Kratos eventually killed all of the gods…

Zeus: king of the gods Poseidon: God of sea Hades: God of the underworld Dionysus: the drunk one

Keeping Up with The Gods

These are extremely valuable documents. Thank you for creating this piece!

When I was in middle school, we were studying Greek gods and I always found these stories, very weird. So I made my own interpretation in which: Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, Hera and Demeter really existed once. They were the children of a rich couple in Ancient Greece but one day, the father (here, Cronos) started to be afraid of the future because he was losing money and he was afraid to see his family become poor in the future. So, to be sure that none of them would become poor, he went to kill all his children. His wife and their youngest son: Zeus, survived because the wife hide with the baby outside of the house. But she wasn’t able to save her other children who were slaughtered by their father. Then, Cronos went to find his wife (Rhéa) and Zeus to kill them too. Since she didn’t want to lose another child, Rhéa took a stone and attacked Cronos with it. She hit him many times in the face with this rock without stopping, she was in rage for what he had done to her children. She hit him around 28 times until Cronos stopped breathing. He was dead. Afraid to be punished for her crime, she ran away with Zeus and went to live with a shepherd who raised Zeus as his own son. But Rhea was still grieving from her loss. So she imagined a world where her children survived, where they were gods and goddesses who would change the fate of the world. She created the Greek Mythology

most people: hades is evil me: no, he's introvert

Basically, Zeus couldn't keep his pants zipped.

I was writing a chapter in my book while listening to this, 2 minutes in I stopped typing and starting listening to this. Very captivating
