Ancient Greek gods were very different from divine beings from other religions of the time.They were divided into 3 generations.We will not list here all the names of Greek gods, the list of which is available in books on mythology.Focus only on the most powerful and colorful titanium.According to legend, since the beginning of time the power was in the hands of the supreme god - Chaos.In the world there was no order, and then Gaia - enterprising Earth Goddess - married with Uranus.From their union came the first generation of Titans.
1. Kronos (Chronos)
He heads a list of the Greek gods.It is the sixth and final son of Gaia.The mother did not chayala soul in it, but willful and ambitious Cronus knew no bounds.Seeing that Gaia is constantly giving birth to children, he castrated Uranus and deposed him from heaven.Sibyl told the goddess of the Earth that is one of Kronos' sons would overthrow him.When he decided to marry a gentle Ray, his mother told him about the prophecy.Not wanting to lose power, he swallowed all his children.Ray went to the trick.She secretly gave birth to a little Zeus and gave it to the education of forest nymphs.When Zeus reached adulthood, he overthrew Cronus, forcing him to vomit all swallowed children.
2. Zeus
This titan of the 2nd generation keeps a list of the Greek gods.Just as Kronos, he was destined to die at the hands of his own son, who, according to prophecy, was to lead the Titans and overthrow the ruler of Mount Olympus.The only one who could help Zeus to save power - Prometheus is able to see the future.But titanium hated Zeus for cruelty to people and not going to help him.No longer able to see the lives of people in the cold, Prometheus stole fire from Olympus eternal and brought him back to Earth.For this, Zeus chained the titan and doomed him to eternal torment.Prometheus could escape, only to conclude a contract with the Thunder, and told him the secret of retaining power.So Zeus escaped marriage with a woman who according to the prophecy was to give birth to the leader of the Titans.No one else dared to encroach upon the throne of the God of Thunder, even other Greek gods, the list of which is in the books on mythology.The power of Zeus was fixed forever.
3. Poseidon
Included in the list of Greek gods only as a shadow of his brother's thunder.Not always distinguished by his cruelty and punish the people deserved.It was not disputed and tried to avoid squabbles and quarrels.Periodically, Poseidon sends storms, but the sailors preferred to pray to him, not Zeus.Before sea voyages, no soldier did not leave harbor without prayer in the temple.Altars in honor of Poseidon kurilis for several days in a row.The symbol of the infinite power of God to the vastness of the water was a trident.
4. Hades
second brother Zeus closes our list of Greek gods.Some were afraid of him, even more than most of the thunder.And Zeus was afraid, barely seeing his brother chariot pulled by horses from the fire demon in the eyes.When thunder shared power, greatly offended Aida, giving him possession of the realm of the dead.Therefore, the life is constantly spoiled Zeus, though not planned to encroach upon the throne of Olympus.Hades is the most cruel and vindictive of all the Titans.
