Behold, my children” she said.Gaia was furious with what Ouranos did to her kids. And she wanted to take Revenge.


The instrument of my revenge. I will call it a scythe! Gaia summoned the hardest substance she could find from her earthly domain.She created the first weapon ever made -a curved iron blade about three feet long.She asked one of her kids to step up and take Ouranos place as King of the cosmos by killing him.The Titans started mumbling and pointing to each other like, “Hey,you’d be good at killing Dad.



The youngest of the twelve,Kronos,shouldered his way forward.The youngest Titan loved the idea of taking over the world.Kronos got Gaia,the Earth Mother to do it his way.Gaia tricked Ouranos to a fancy dinner."Just get h
im here tonight and act like you still love him.”said Kronos.The girls were too wise to get involved in murder.The eldest son,Oceanus,backed off.That left only four of the brothers-Koios,Iapetus.Krios and Hyperion - They helped Kronos murder their Dad.

Ouranos came down to visit Gaia.Death awaited him.Kronos emerged from the shadows .His iron scythe gleemed in the star light. Kronos brought down the scythe and yes hit him there in the most painful place for a guy to be hit.(You know where?).Blood was everywhere - except the blood of the Gods is golden,and its called Ichor.




Kronos returned to the valley and the Titans partied.Gaia named Kronos Lord of the universe.That night,Kronos lifted his glass of nectar,which was the immortals’ favourite drink.He tried for a confident smile  but truthfully he was already starting to worry about Ouranos’s curse - that someday Kronos’s children would depose him.In spite of that he yelled,”My siblings,a toast! We have begun a Golden Age!”

On the next blog you will know more about the end of Kronos just as Ouranos had predicted.
