With the Titans defeated, Zeus and his siblings assumed power as the the new rulers of the cosmos. Kronos' brothers were also cast into Tartarus, while Atlas was condemned to hold up the sky as punishment for leading the Titans' forces. After eleven years of battle, the younger immortals emerged victorious Zeus used Kronos' scythe to slice him into thousands of pieces just as he had done to his father, scattering his remains into Tartarus. The Titans originally had the upper hand against the gods in battle as they were more experienced and skilled but with the help of the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires and their extremely powerful newly crafted weapons, the gods quickly gained the upper hand.
#PERCY JACKSON TITAN'S CURSE SUMMARY FREE#
Raised in secrecy, Zeus would grow to adulthood and free his siblings to wage war against Kronos and the other Titans. To evade his fate, Kronos would devour his five elder children before a desperate Rhea saved her sixth and last child, Zeus by substituting a stone for his father to consume as advised by Gaea. He also hired Kampê, the most terrifying monster in Tartarus, to guard them.Įventually, Kronos learned that he was destined to be overthrown by his own offspring just as he had usurped his father. Shortly after releasing his brothers, the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires, Kronos became disgusted by their awful smell and the noise they made and summoned the other two most powerful Titans, Hyperion and Atlas, to reimprision them. Like his father before him, Kronos grew into a corrupt tyrant along with many of the other Titans. Mankind was first created in his reign though they were unsophisticated and simple - this time later came to be known as the " Golden Age". He took his sister Rhea as his queen and ruled for countless eons. Fresh from his victory, Kronos seized supremacy amongst the Titans and became their king. He soon chopped Ouranos up into a thousand pieces and threw his severed genitals into the sea so as to insult to his brother Oceanus for refusing to participate in the conspiracy. Kronos then sprung out and attacked, taking the scythe in his hands and cutting off his father's genitals. Hyperion, Krios, Koios and Iapetus leaped forth from their hiding places and grabbed Ouranos by each of his arms and legs, pinning him to the ground. Gaea lured Ouranos down to the earth to meet her for a romantic dinner while Kronos and his brothers lied in wait to ambush their father. Taking the scythe, Kronos convinced his four brothers, Hyperion, Krios, Koios and Iapetus to help him. All of them refused to do so out of fear of their father - except Kronos, the youngest and most terrible of the Titans, who agreed to kill his father and punish him for his cruelty. She presented them a new weapon she had forged (a large and jagged scythe), urging them to take it in order to rise up and take action against their father. While Ouranos no doubt took delight in his wicked works, Gaea was outraged by the treatment of her sons and conspired with her remaining children to overthrow Ouranos. Ouranos had earlier imprisoned his elder children, the Cyclops and the Hekatonkheires, in Tartarus because of his respective contempt and fear of them. The Titans were one of three sets of beings born to Gaea and Ouranos, the personifications of the Earth and sky, respectively.
