The Birth of the Gods – Chaos, Titans, and the Rise of Olympus

In the beginning, there was only Chaos, a vast emptiness. From Chaos emerged primordial beings like Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky), who gave birth to the Titans, powerful deities that ruled before the Olympians. Cronus, the leader of the Titans, feared being overthrown by his children and swallowed them at birth. But Rhea saved one — Zeus, who grew up, defeated Cronus, and freed his siblings: Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. Together, they overthrew the Titans in the Titanomachy, a war that reshaped the cosmos and established Zeus and the Olympians as rulers of the heavens.
