How Every Greek God Actually Died

The Greeks called their gods the immortals, the deathless ones. Their own myths say otherwise. Asclepius cured death, so Zeus killed him with a thunderbolt, and then he became a god. Ares spent thirteen months stuffed in a bronze jar. Kronos ended up in three different places, depending on the poet. Atlas turned into a mountain and then kept talking anyway. A voice at sea announced that Great Pan was dead. Even Zeus once had his strength stolen and stuffed in a bag. Every Greek god who died, nearly died, or found a loophole, and whose version says so, in about 15 minutes.
