The Birth of Zeus and the Binding of Cronus | A Tale from Greek Mythology
The birth and origins of Zeus, king of the gods, is a tale of danger and deception, as he survived in secret from the Titan Cronus, his father. How did Cronus come to reign as king of the cosmos, how was Zeus born, and how did he free his brother and sister Olympians, devoured by the mad Cronus?
A story from Greek mythology, based on Hesiod's Theogony, featuring: Zeus, Cronus, Rhea, Gaia, Uranus, Metis, the Titans
