It's only recently that i have come in contact wid Greek Mythology in it's true sense.... and all i know right now is the tip of the tip of the iceberg. I jus thot now tht i knw a little bit about it why not write what i think about it.... as it is my teachers in college keep on sayin tht we want to know what ur interpretation is......
it is said tht in the beginning there was Chaos n thn slowly earth... sky etc. were formed......Gaea,the Earth gave birth to Uranus, the heaven..... now this where it gets interestin... and i mean it. now wid the help of Uranus.. Gaea produced 3 cyclops , Hecatonchieres and the 12 Titans.... the MOTHER partnered wid the SON to produce other gods.....(i have heard tht it is animals who recognise no relationship) now wat will Uranus call the cyclops, hecatoncheires and the titans.. brothers/sisters or sons/daughetrs.... n wat will Gaea call thm her children or grandchildren.... hmmmmm(problem tht too an ethical one) interestin... n this is jus the start....one of the Titans was Chronus... who didnt like Uranus...nor did the other kids of Uranus..... Gaea n Chronus plotted to kill Uranus...n finally he was killed by Chronus....(conspiracy)...... Chronus became the king of the gods after his father.... he married Rhea who was his sister(bhai aur behen... wah wah).... thy had 6 children .....Zeus.. Poseidon..Hades...Hera...Hestia and Demeter.... Chronus came to knw tht he will be killed by his son.... so he swallowed each of his children as thy were born but Rhea hid the sixth child tht was Zeus.... n made Chronus swallow a stone. when Zeus grew up he decided to kill his father n make him vomit his siblings.... so Zeus killed Chronus(sounds familiar... son killin father) n made him vomit his siblings... mind you they are 'GODS' they are immortals.. thy dont die... btw wat did thy eat for so many years in Chronus' stomach.... oops... they are 'GODS' thy dont need food. .... now Zeus became the king of gods.... n married Hera(his sister... have heard tht before)bhaiya mere........... it does not end here..... the main gods who ruled durin Zeus' time were 12 in number n were called the Olympians.... Olympians have a story of their own... more interrestin thn tht of their ancestors..... their ancestors bloodline was entwined within themselves only whereas the Olympians bloodline reached the humans too.... u knw wat i mean dont u......
scandals.... murders n wat not can be found in Greek mythology..... this is where the t.v n filmmakers get their ideas from... n so do the humans...... the gods themselves are not sinless and how do thy expect us humans to be...... even the GODS are 'GREY'.
you aint heard (read) anything till u've heard about Zeus..... wait till i write about Zeus n his love life........till thn keep sinning... even the gods do....CHEERS!!!!
