OLYMPIANS

  ZEUS HAD A GOOD CHILDHOOD ON MOUNT IDA. He spent his days romping around the countryside with nymphs and satyrs, learning to fight with his loud friends the Kouretes, eating his fill of honey and magical goat milk (yum!), and of course never going to school because the schools hadn’t been invented yet. By the time he was a young adult god, he had grown into a good-looking dude—all tan and ripped from his time in the forest and at the beach. He had short black hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and eyes as blue as the sky, though they could cloud over very fast when he got angry. One day his mom, Rhea, came to visit on her chariot pulled by lions. “Zeus,” she said, “you need a summer job.” Zeus scratched his beard. He liked the word summer. He wasn’t so sure about the word job. “What did you have in mind?” Rhea’s eyes gleamed. She had been planning her revenge on Kronos for a long time. Now, looking at her son—so confident, strong, and handsome—she knew the time had come. “There’s an o...

BIRTH OF ZEUS

Image
  Hey guys, Artemis here.So yesterday i had only told you about the birth of the first 5 gods, (whom Kronos gobbled) so as I told you before there were 6 gods,  Rhea went to Crete to give birth to Zeus(I am pretty sure that you have heard about him!). So let's continue shall we? So at last Rhea found Crete, I am not sure if she used google maps or MtOthyrsMaps.com(just kidding).  Once she got there, she was immediately met by some helpful nymphs who had also heard the voice of Gaea. They brought Rhea to a cozy, well-hidden cave at the base of Mount Ida. The nymphs’ stream ran nearby, so Rhea would have lots of freshwater. The bountiful forest offered plenty to eat. Yes, I know: immortals live mostly on nectar and ambrosia, but in a pinch they could eat other stuff. Being a god wouldn’t be much fun if you couldn’t enjoy the occasional pizza.                                       ...

BIRTH OF THE OTHER 4 GODS

  Hey, Artemis here. so let's see about  BIRTH OF THE OTHER 5 GODS  lets hit it shall we? So Rhea had another baby—a little girl even cuter than the first. Rhea named her Demeter .                                                       DEMETER                   Rhea dared to hope. Demeter was so adorable, maybe she would melt Kronos’s heart. He couldn’t possibly feel threatened by this little bundle of joy. Kronos took the child in his arms and saw right away that Demeter was another goddess. She glowed with an aura even more powerful than Hestia’s. She was trouble with a capital tau( an greek alphabet). This time he didn’t hesitate. He opened his jaws and swallowed her down. Cue the screaming fit from Mom. Cue the apologies. Rhea was seriously tempted to call out her lions, but now the stakes w...

KRONOS WEDDING AND THE BIRTH OF HESTIA

Image
 Ciao, How are you guys doin' , So lets continue from where I left from yesterday's blog. Lets kick off with Kronos's wedding! it’s a pain to be on your own when everyone around you is settling down and starting families. Kronos had earned the throne fair and square, but that curse took all the fun out of chopping up his dad. Now he had to worry about getting overthrown while everyone else got to enjoy the good life. Uncool. His realtives didnt visit him much anymore. After Gaea went  back into the earth.They stopped coming by the palace for Sunday dinner and Karoke.  They said they were busy, but Kronos suspected that his brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews were simply scared of him. He did have his father’s temper and sense of cruelty. His scythe was intimidating. Plus, he had the slightly off-putting tendency to scream, “I’ll kill you all!” whenever someone made him mad. But was that his fault? One morning he really snapped. He woke up to a Cyclops hammering on a pi...

PERIOD OF CANNIBALISM

-
Hey there, Artemis Here so lemme tell you about my name. Artemis? Exactly, don't think that its Artemis fowl(that is a movie duh!) So lemme tell u about Artemis, she is the goddess of wild, hunt, music, and most importantly moon. she has a twin brother '' APPOLLO " Yeah it must be annoying for her to have such a shiny and handsome brother, who always calls her "Lil sis".So as you see Artemis is a maiden goddess, which means she swore that she would never marry in her lifetime. (which is pretty big, cuz she is immortal) So let's get to her later. Ahem, let's see about " PERIOD  OF CANNIBALISM"(if u wanna know the meaning google it later) THE GOLDEN AGE OF CANNIBALISM: " AT FIRST, KRONOS WASN’T SO BAD. "He had to work his way up to being a complete slime bucket. He released the Elder Cyclopes and the Hundred-Handed Ones from Tartarus, which made Gaea happy. The monstrous guys turned out to be useful, too. They had spent all their t...

THE HUNDRED HANDED ONES AND THE DEATH OF OURANOS!

 Yo there , Artemis here. So as i said in my previous blog today we will be seeing about , THE GREAT HUNDRED HANDED ONES AND THE DEATH OF OURANOS! Lets get to the content shall we? Hell yeah THE HUNDRED HANDED ONES:         “A few months later, Gaea gave birth to one more set of triplets. As if she needed more proof that her marriage to Ouranos was dead…. The new kids were even more monstrous than the Cyclopes. Each one had a hundred arms all around his chest like sea urchin spines, and fifty teeny, tiny heads clustered on his shoulders. It didn’t matter to Gaea. She loved their little faces—all hundred and fifty of them. She called the triplets the Hundred-Handed Ones. She’d barely had time to give them names, though, when Ouranos marched over, took one look at them, and snatched them from Gaea’s arms.  Without a word, he wrapped them in chains and tossed them into Tartarus like bags of recycling. Clearly, the sky dude had issues. Well, that was pretty muc...

HOW IT ALL STARTED

-
Image
Yo there , This is Artemis . So as i said today i will be telling you about HOW IT ALL STARTED. So lets start from Gaea( Yup  the one and only mother earth ) , as you see “At first, there was pretty much nothing. A lot of nothing.  The first god, if you can call it that, was Chaos—a gloomy, soupy mist with all the matter in the cosmos just drifting around. Here’s a fact for you: Chaos literally means the Gap, and we’re not talking about the clothing store. Eventually Chaos got less chaotic. Maybe it got bored with being all gloomy and misty. Some of its matter collected and solidified into the earth, which unfortunately developed a living personality. She called herself Gaea, the Earth Mother. Now Gaea was the actual earth—the rocks, the hills, the valleys, the whole enchilada. But she could also take on humanlike form. She liked to walk across the earth—which was basically walking across herself—in the shape of a matronly woman with a flowing green dress, curly black hair, an...
