THE GREAT GREEK GODS
THE GREAT GREEK GODS
Hye-rin Yoo
Do you ever feel like king of the world? Well,
you probably aren’t. The Greek gods and
goddesses definitely were. At least they were
after they killed their own father. Their father
was a Titan named Cronus who swallowed all
his children, but Zeus wasn’t swallowed, so he
tricked and killed Cronus and freed his
siblings.Read more to learn about some of
these gods’ or/and goddesses’ abilities.
ZEUS AND HIS LIGHTNING BOLT
Zeus was the only one who was not
swallowed by Cronus. Rhea, Zeus’ mother,
put a boulder in place of Zeus. Cronus
swallowed the boulder not knowing. Zeus
grew up raised by a very rare golden sheep
and when he was powerful enough killed
Cronus. This is why he came up as king of
the kings even though Hades was the oldest.
Zeus also had children. They were the three
fates. The three fates were 3 old women who
were like oracles. They could see the future.
They would also cut a piece of yarn if
someone was going to die to let the people
know. The Fates were not like Zeus.
