His Own Son Turned Against Him | Greek Mythology

His father ruled the sky. His brothers were trapped beneath the earth. Then his mother handed him a blade. Before Zeus and the Olympians, there was Uranus—the Sky—and Gaia, the Earth. When Uranus imprisoned their children, Gaia devised a plan. Only her youngest son, Cronus, dared to act. The Rise of Olympus begins with a family betrayal that changed the world.
