Greek Mythology:
The Titanamochy War
By: Gabriela
The Creation that started it all…

Before this war began was The Creation. This is another myth that started
way before the horrendous war. It all started with Gaea and Uranus. Gaea had
most of the kids because she is Earth so she had to create the others. Yet
Uranus wasn’t satisfied till Gaea had the Titans. Even then, Uranus wasn’t too
happy because he was worried if they were going to take his spot as being
leader. (Gaea actually had Uranus!)
Rhea
Cronus
Phoebe
Coeus
Mnemosyne
Themis
Iapetus
Tethys
Oceanus
Theia
Hyperion
Cronus and Rhea
Poseidon
Hades
Demeter
Hestia

Cronus and Rhea are two of the Titans. They are the reason Zeus is around.

Zeus was born by Cronus and Rhea. When Rhea gave birth to Zeus she
already knew that he would be one of the most powerful gods. Yet, she didn’t
give birth to her sixth child (Zeus) with Cronus. She had to get away from him
to be able to have him if not Cronus would have ate little Zeus.

Before Rhea had Zeus she had other children. Unfortunately, Cronus ate all of
them because he feared that they will over power him just like his father,
Uranus.
Hera
Zeus
The greatest and well known…
The Twelve Olympians or the early
Olympians

There are a total of 12 Gods and Goddesses after the war. Those twelve were
Aphodinate, Apollo, Aris, Aretmis, Athena, Hades, Hephaestus, Hera, Hermes,
Hestia, Poseidon, Zeus, and Demeter. All six of the Olympians were all in the
war. The ones in the war were actually Poseidon, Zeus, Hades, Hera, Hestia,
and Demeter. These six won. The first Olympians won fair and square. After
the Titans who lost were thrown down to the Underworld that was the end for
them.
Zeus and his brave actions!!!

When Zeus was a little older he left the island of Crete and helped his
mother. Surprisingly Cronus didn’t realize that his mini servant was his son!

One day Zeus gave his father a cup of wine which Cronus drank heavily
without stopping. Yet, Cronus didn’t know what was is it. Inside the cup of
wine was a potion that made people throw up and that was exactly what
Cronus did. When he threw up The Hundredhanded ones The Cyclopes, and
Zeus’s beloved brothers and sisters came out. Oh, don’t forget the stone Rhea
gave Cronus to swallow. All the children came out even the stone.
Rage in Cronus!!!

Now Zeus’s siblings were all grown up at the time and they weren’t too happy
as well as the other monsters. So they had a war between Cronus and his
army of the rest of the Titans and Zeus's army of his family.

The other people who disliked Cronus battled against him in rage because
they weren’t happy at all with the choices he has made. Cronus was beaten
by the Titans and the monsters in the Titanomachy War.
Now it’s time bring out the big guns….
The Titanomachy War!!!!

The Titanomochy War was a war that lasted for ten years. Surly the Titans
were supposed to win yet that didn’t happen. So now the six Olympians ruled
Mount Olympus. The Titanomachy War is known by many names. Some of
those names might include the Olympian War or the God of War Series.

The war between Cronus and the rest of the Titans who supported him went
in battle with the Olympians was caused by Zeus and wanting to get his father
back on swallowing his brothers and sisters. Soon after ten years of many
battles the war ended and the Olympians won.
The amazing weapons that a special group of
giants made for a special group of hero’s

Before the war began the Cyclopes made Zeus and his teammates special
weapons they used to accomplish the terrible war. For Zeus they made
lightning bolts that can be thrown from far away. For Hades they made a
magic helmet that could make him invisible. Poseidon got a magnificent
trident or a three pronged spear that can defeat any enemy that comes his
way. The Cyclopes did this since they wanted Zeus to win. Yet, not for Cronus.
His team ended in a pretty bad way.
Purpose Needed to Lead

The war that lasted 10 years all started with a plan. This plan came from the
young Olympians. These Olympians were from Cronus and Rhea. The plan was
to take down their father for his bad actions. When thinking about war they
also thought their lives were going to be at risk. They knew Cronus might
swallow them again.
How the war turned out in the end

While fighting, the Hundred Handed Ones joined the Olympians. They fought
without getting tired at all. Soon the Olympians forced the Titans to surrender
or they will have to keep on fighting. The Titans did surrender as they were
told and Zeus challenged Cronus to a wresting match to see who would rule
the world. The Titans were sent to Tartarus as well as Cronus. Zeus had
beaten Cronus three times! As for Atlas which lead the Titans to battle, he
was told to hold the world on his back for all eternity.
The end to the battle part 2

After the war the Olympians settled their home on Mount Olympus. Zeus,
Poseidon, and Hades each chose which part they would like to rule. Hades
chose the underworld. Zeus chose the sky and Poseidon chose the water or
should I say ocean.

Surprisingly Cronus sends dreams to Zeus to help him rule the skies. Doesn’t
Cronus see that he is in jail? Can’t he stop and relax? Anyway, each and every
god and goddesses each now have a job. Soon enough those gods and
goddesses had children and the cycle of life kept on going till the end.
Conclusion

Overall the project I did was a good one as well as the knowledge I have
learned throughout this power point. I have learned a lot and have had many
thoughts about the war and how and why the war started the way it did yet it
happened for a reason. The power point I did shows information about the
Titanimachy War. During the process of completing the power point I have
gained knowledge and also had fun creating a 5th grade PowerPoint. By my
example I hope you all will learn the way I did and hope this war will not
happen again as for the gods I don’t know about them because they are
unpredictable.
