Okay. To start of with everything. We need the start of everything.

Before, it was all darkness. (*dramatic music*) Chaos ruled. <I'm referring to the deity here>

And then, there was Gaia , one of the first deities to exist. ( How she existed without any parents ---- well idk) Gaia here is the personification of the Earth , and is the ancestral mother-sometimes parthenogenic-of all life.

There were some deities already (I think) like Eros (love) (note : there are two Eros in Greek Mythology, I'm not referring to Aphrodite's son, and for some reason they are both gods of love ) , Tartarus ( the place of horrible suffering in the Underworld and for some reason is also a god).

However, Gaia probably wanted to create some new deities. Ok. This was how Uranus comes from. Maybe she wanted to create the sky because it's beautiful. Still, Uranus isn't as beautiful as he seems.

Gaia and Uranus got married and they bore children.

The first twelve, aka the Titans ( more specific: Oceanus, Coeus , Crius , Hyperion , Iapetus, Theia and Rhea, Themis, , Mnemosyne , Phoebe , Tethys and Kronos ) , were a group of good looking giants.

Then, there were three Cyclops, [respectively: Brontes (Thunder) , Steropes (lightning) and Arges (bright)] one-eyed dudes who are kinda nice <let's not count the Nobody Cyclops>. (How do they wear sunglasses?)

Finally, the Hecatoncheires , ( namely Cottus, Briareos, and Gyges ) creatures that have hundred hands and fifty heads, were born.

Uranus didn't understand that he shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, he was like : Eww the Cyclops and Hecatoncheires are so ugly, lemme dump them back into Gaia. (in some versions Tartarus) He stuffed his children into a place in Gaia, causing pain to Mother Earth and the Cyclops and Hecatoncheires were unhappy as well ( unless they are a group of mommy's boys but I don't think so)

Gaia developed a plan. She asked her children, the Titans to overthrow Uranus. If they did and freed her other children, they would be crowned the ruler. The first eleven Titans were hesitant to do so, but the youngest and most ambitious kid ----- Kronos (also called Cronus, Cronos) immediately agreed. Gaia gave Cronos a sickle to defeat Uranus. ( I have no idea why a farming tool became a weapon but it's a magical sickle)

Kronos used the sickle to 'battle' Uranus. And defeated Uranus. Uranus' spilled blood created the Erinyes, the Giants and my friends the Meliae. Oh and pieces of Uranus created Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, and she rose from sea foam.

Afterwards, Kronos was crowned King of the gods. And they lived happily ever after.

Okay. Just kidding. Greek mythology doesn't work like this. The story isn't finished yet...
