The last challenge
Please, enter the reports as an answer to this post.
Titanomachy:
ReplyDeleteOnce Zeus defeated his father Kronos, he freed his siblings from Kronos' belly: Hestia, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter and Hades. Kronos, furious, was not willing to give up his power without a fight, and among the Titans, unleashed the war of Titan, wanting back his throne.
Since Kronos' army was too powerful, Zeus unleashed the Cyclopses from the Tartarus and they, in gratitude, forged weapons for the gods: Zeus was granted his thunder and lightning, Poseidon received a trident and Hades got the helmet of Terror, which gave him the power of invisibility. The fight between the Titans and the gods from the Olympus was so powerful that caused earthquakes, volcano eruptions and typhoons in the Earth.
This battle lasted for about ten years, and the Titans had took an advantage when Zeus released the Hecatoncheire, a giant with 100 arms and 50 heads, to help them win the war. The Titans' army panicked and and ran away, letting Zeus to make Kronos to his knees and he senteced the Titans from life at the Tartarus.
Now, Zeus was the God of gods, but Gaia, mother of the Titans, angry about her children being locked for life, started to plot a vengeance against the new king of the universe.

ReplyDeleteZeus was born from the Titan Kronos, who was the supreme king of the Universe and his sister Rea.
ReplyDeletePreviously, Kronos was warned that one day one of his children was going to overthrow him. Because of that, once that a child of his was born, he ate them against Rea’s will.
In one of Rea’s pregnancies, she decided to give birth to the child without telling Kronos about it. Instead of giving the body of the baby to Kronos, she gave him a rock covered in blankets, Kronos swallow it and didn’t notice the difference.
Zeus was born in Creta Island, where he was raised by nymphs and goats.
Once he was an adult, Zeus tricked Kronos, making him drink a poison, with which, he vomited all Zeus’s siblings. With the help of them, Kronos is overthrown.

Great, thanks!
DeleteTHE LAST CHALLENGE:
ReplyDeleteThe Last Challenge starts with Gaia being furious with Zeus for killing his son, Kronos. As a result, she creates a monster named Typhoon that spills lava, fire and makes earthquakes and hurricanes with his wings.
At Sicily, Typhoon defeats Zeus temporally and takes his tendons making it easier for him to imprison the most powerful God. After a while, Zeus’s son, Ermes, gives his tendons back so he can fight again and destroy Typhoon.
This time he actually won the battle and the gods came back to reign the world again.
