1. HOW THE WORLD WAS CREATED
Gaia (mother Earth) developed Uranus and she met with him every night. These meetings brought forth children

The hecatonchires, the Titans and the Cyclopes were all children of Gaia. But the god of heaven (Uranus) was scared that he will be dethroned by his children, so he trapped his children in mother Earth. After a long time of pain, Gaia freed

Gaia freed Titan Cronus, the youngest of her children to end his father's tyrannical reign which he did. He stabbed his father in the testicles and the sky was as red as blood. Uranus spectrum told Cronus that what he did will be done to him by his children

THE BIRTH OF ZEUS
Cronus became paranoid and a tyrant just like his father. He feared being dethroned by his children so dreadly that he ATE his children at birth. The goddess Rhea became so tired so she hid her last child in a cave and fed her husband stones

Disguising it as a child she just bore. The child grew in wisdom and strength and wanted to end his father's tyrannical reign. His name was Zeus
Zeus gave Cronus a potion that made him vomit all his siblings (Hestia, Hades, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter) out of Uranus belly. Zeus

became the ruler of the world

THE TITAN WAR
The children of Cronus took to Mt. Olympus as their headquarters. They knew they were no match for the Titans so they unleashed the Cyclopes which forged powerful weapons for them. They gave Zeus lightening, Hades an helmet of

invisibility and Poseidon, a trident to cause storms and earthquakes. The Titans lost the battle with the help of the Hecatonchires. Zeus punished Atlas (the leader of the Titan army) to hold the Earth for all eternity

2. THE STORY OF MEDUSA
Medusa was so beautiful that she attracted the eyes of many but she was pure and untouched. She admired the goddess Athena and because of that, she became a priestess in her temple. Virginity and chastity were major requirements for this position

Athena grew jealous of Medusa's beauty and her hair. One day, Poseidon stumbled upon Medusa and fell in love with her instantly but she rejected him everytime. This made the god angry and he had his way with her in the temple. Athena found out what had happened and she punished

Medusa by turning her hair into snakes that whoever looks into her eyes will be petrified and turn into stone. This was her punishment for descrating the temple.

3. PANDORA'S BOX
The Titans Prometheus and Epimethus created man but Prometheus wanted man to standout among the animals so he gave man fire. Zeus takes this fire away during the Titan war but Prometheus steals it back. Zeus is angry and subjects the Titan to an unending torment

Prometheus advises Epimethus not to collect any gift from the gods. Zeus orders for the creation of woman and bestows on her different gifts and an undying curiosity. He gives her a box and tell her never to open it before giving her to Epimethus as a gift which he accepts.

Pandora's curiosity couldn't be contained anymore and she decides to give the box a tiny peek, a great mist appears containing great evils which wasn't in mankind before (envy, poverty, lust...) The evils infected mankind but Zeus adds HOPE to mankind in order to prolong the

... punishment

4. THE STORY OF ECHO
Echo was a nymph and a talkative. Zeus loved the company of nymphs. One day, Hera (Zeus wife) decided to go after him but she got distracted by Echo who was trying to distract her from catching Zeus. When Hera got rid of Echo, she realized

Zeus had escaped. Hera was mad at Echo and cursed her to only utter the last words she listened to.

5. THE PUNISHMENT OF CHELONE
Hera married Zeus and a feast was held in their honour. All deities and nymphs were invited and not a single guest had the audacity to reject the invitation, all but the nymph Chelone. She was late for the event and the messanger god (Hermes) decided

to pay her a visit. She was still sleeping after he invited her twice. Zeus and Hera blamed Hermes for her absence. Hermes was angry at her lazy attitude towards everything and cursed her to carry her house wherever she goes but her laziness didn't change still

6. HADES AND PERSEPHONE
Hades was visiting the world of the living when he saw Persephone and he immediately fell in love with her. He asked her father Zeus for her hand in marriage and he agreed but they both knew Demeter (her mother, the goddess of harvest and fetility)

Hades kidnapped Persephone with the consent of Zeus and without the knowledge of Demeter. This made Demeter sad so much so that she neglected her duties. Crops and animals began to die. There was a great famine. Zeus saw this would end mankind so he promised to bring her back if

it was proven that Hades held her against her will. Hades took care of her so much so that she began to fall in love with him. Hades returned her back but Persephone wanted to be with Hades. This made Demeter furious. So they decided to share their time with Persephone.

The half of the year she spent without her mother, crops struggled to grow and the land wasn't fertile because Demeter was sad while the half she spent with her mother, the land was fruitful. Thus, explaining the SEASONS

7. ATHENA AND ARACHNE
Archne was the daughter of a weaver and soon developed herself in weaving too. She was so good but also very proud. She compared herself to the goddess Athena claiming she was better than her. Athena heard of this treachery and challenged her to a contest

Athena lost the contest and this made her mad. The embroidery works Arachne wove were mocking the gods of Olympus. Athena struck her head with a needle and cursed her and her generation to be repulsive. Arachne become a spider, even at that she was still an incredible weaver.
