Zeus had a good childhood on Mount Ida. But now Rhea was ready for revenge. She offered Zeus a job at the palace for a cupbearer for Kronos. I mean the pay isn't great, but the job had good side benefits, such as overthrowing your father and becoming lord of the cosmos. And so he agreed.

The first time Zeus saw Mount Orthys, his jaw dropped. The palace was huge. Rhea introduced Zeus to Kronos as his new cupbearer who seemed vaguely familiar. Kronos questioned Zeus if he had any experience and he replied saying that he was a quick learner and that he could also sing,dance and tell satyr jokes.

Kronos loved him. Zeus was the most interesting and entertaining servant in the palace. As time passed by Kronos had started to trust Zeus. One night when Kronos was dining with his favorite lieutenants, Zeus mixed some special herbs in their glasses to make them sleepy. For Kronos, he mixed a special blend of nectar and mustard. The Titans gulped down their tasty beverages. Kronos noticed that his nectar tasted weird but he didn't stop drinking it. And next,Kronos puked. A puke worthy of the king of the universe. His mouth hinged open all by himself and shot out five gods - Hestia,Hera,Demeter,Posiedon&Hades.


What happens next? Well,I guess history repeats itself.
