Greek Mythology Creation Story 2-2 The Downfall of Uranus & and the Rising of Titans

This is directly after what happened in part 1, pls read part 1 if you have not already.

Well, that’s it for Gaia. She wailed and moaned and caused so much earthquakes that the titans came running to check up.

“Your father is a *first cuss word first invented*.” She explained what happened. Then she raised her hand and summoned the hardest substance from her earthy domain, shaped it with her anger, and made the first weapon.

“Behold! The instrument of my revenge! I will call it, a scythe! One of you must stand up. One of you must kill your father, and take his throne!”

The titans muttered nervously like, hey you be good at killing dad.

“I’ll do it.” says a voice from the back. Chronos was the youngest of the twelve. He isn’t the smartest, or the strongest, but he is power-hungry. He loved the idea of becoming the lord of the universe. Chronos has his fathers cruelty and his mothers smile. When you look at him, you never know if hes going to stab you or tell a joke or kiss you. When Chronos saw the scythe, his eyes gleamed. He wanted that blade. Alone among his siblings, he knows how much damage it could cause. As for killing Uranus, why not. Uranus don’t really care about him, or noticed. Neither did Gaia for that matter. I guess he’s really tired of getting ignored, and being the smallest.

“Oh, my favorite son! I knew I could count on you!”

“I’ll be honored to kill for you mother! But we have to do it my way. First, find a way to trick Uranus down here. Tell him to you’re sorry or something. Just get him here tonight.”

“Ugh, are you nuts.”

“Just pretend. Once he is in human form, I’ll jump out and attack him, but I need some help.” He looked to his siblings, who are suddenly very interested with there feet. “Look guys, if this goes bad, Uranus isn’t gonna spare anyone. So, I need 4 of you to hold him down and make sure he doesn’t escape. When I’m king, I’ll reward those 4. I’ll give them each a corner of the world to rule. One time offer, who’s in!”

The girls are all too smart to be evolved in murder. They quickly made their excuses and left. The oldest son Oceanus chewed his nails nervously.

“I got to go for uh, aquatic stuff.”

That left only 4 of Chronos’s brothers. Crios, Coeus, Hyperion and Iapetus.

“You can count on us Chronos!” said Crios.

“Yeah totally!” said Hyperion.

 

Amazingly, that night Uranus showed up. He wondered into the valley where he usually met Gaia. He frowned when he saw the fancy dinner on the table.

“I got your note, are you serious about making up?”

“Absolutely.” Gaia was dressed in her best green dress. He hair was braided with jewels, which is easy to get being the earth. She reclined on the sofa and beckoned her husband forward. Uranus felt under-dressed in his loincloth. His nighttime skin was dark and covered with stars, but you just can’t count that as “black tie” for a fancy dinner.

“So… You’re okay with me wrapping our kids in chains and throwing them into Tartarus?” Was he suspicious? Idk. Remember, no one in the history of the cosmos have been ambushed and chopped into pieces before, he is going to be the first. Lucky guy.

Gaia forced a smile,”I’m OK with it. Come sit with me.”

Uranus grunted and lumbered over. As soon as he settled in, Chronos whispered, “Now.” Immediately, his 4 brother jumped out from there hiding places. They all grabbed a leg or an arm and dragged their father onto the ground. Chronos emerged from the shadows, his scythe in hand.

“Hello father,” said Chronos.

“What is the meaning of this!” roared Uranus. “Gaia, tell them to release me!”

“Ha! You deserve no mercy! Who wears a loincloth to a fancy dinner! I am disgusted!”

“I am the king of the universe!”

“Not  anymore.”

“BEWARE, if you do this, I will curse you! One day, your kids will kill you and take your thrown!” Uranus swore.

Chronos laughed like a maniac.  He brought down the scythe.

  1. Yeah and then I think Kronos ate 5 of his children (Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, Hestia) and Zeus was replaced by a stone when his dad was drunk and Zeus freed his brothers and cast Kronos and Kronos’ brothers into Tartarus, which is like Azkaban Prison from Harry Potter but in Greek Mythology.
