Hello fellow myth lovers. Want to know about a little more (actually a lot more) about Zeus? Well if you didn't want to know about Zeus you wouldn't be at this site, but lets move on to some facts. Most of you probably know this but Zeus' parents were named Cronus and Rhea. This may come as a shock to you but his dad actually ate all his other brothers and sisters until one day when Rhea gave him a stone baby which of couse he ate as well which cause him to barf up all his other children. When Zeus was born Rhea did not tell Cronus about him knowing that he would eat him too. Now you can't blam Cronus 100% becuase he still did have a meaning to his madness. The reason he ate all his children was becuase one day they wouldn't (and now couldn't) take his power from him .Since Rhea finally realized that he would eat she didn't tell Cronus (like I said earlier) and raised Zeus on an island far away from Cronus until he had the power to take him on in a dual! Some say that this dual (wasn't actually a dual) consisted of Zeus (Duh) Hades, and Poseidon. (and Cronus) But some also say that it was just Zues and Cronus. Let me know what you think is the correct version of what was actually believed in the comments below and enjoy this cool video too. See you again soon and I hope you like this weeks post. (I think this video is part of a video game just so you know) Comments are closed.
