The first master of the Earth was Uranus. Then, before the reign of Zeus, came the turn of his father, Kronos,See Kronos son of Uranus.

 

Dans   l'imaginaire occidental, le Temps n'en finit pas de manger ses enfantsAfter having defeated his father, Kronos the Time reigned alone on the world: he hurried to plunge his brothers and sisters into the Hell.To Ancient Greek, the Hell is chiefly an undergroung word. See page As for the children he had with his wife Rhea, he devoured them from their birth. These former gods, it was a different culture. We have guillotined men for less important reasons. But nevermind. When Zeus was about to be born, Rhea secretly ran away to Crete, where she gave birth to the child. And giving to a stoneThe stones often become men in Greek mythology. See the adventures of Deucalion and Pyrrha in page the look of a newborn child, she presented it to Kronos who swallowed it easily.

 

Amaltheus the Goat of the God

 

Saturn/Kronos devouring one son, by Francisco Goya. DetailsLittle Zeus grew up by sucking the milk of the goat Amalthea. Twenty years later, Zeus gave to Kronos a drug that made him vomit his children the Titans,People of Poseidon, Atlas et Prometheus. Zeus' brothers and sisters. Then he set free the Cyclops from Tartarus, and they all united in a merciless war against Kronos: Titanomachia. Cronos and the Titans were in their turn thrown in Tartarus, the river of Hell. But Gaia,The Earth. See page annoyed with the Titans' lot, called the Giants,See page who began to brandish burning trees and huge rocks.

 

Pleiads, by Kagaya (details)

Then the Olympians acted with their own weapons: Zeus seized his thunderbolt,This particular lightning is a modern weapon. See  page Athena took the aegis,a modern weapon. See  page Dyonisus brandished the thyrsus,a modern weapon. See  page Hercules launched his arrows, and they all competed to a second victory. It is not easy to finish off his father, is it, Zeus? Especially as your father, Old Kronos-the Time, had lots of trouble to finish off his own father, Uranus-the Sky, who came from the stars. Between the lines, Hesiode'sHe is the oldest Greek poet who has given us the wide legendary body that is the Greek mythology. He has written two collections of verse, the Theogony and Works and Days. Theogony allows us to think that Uranus and the Titans were aliens.This is the thesis of  Rael, a self-made guru with a fragile mind

 

Wasn't Zeus used to transform everyone into stars, as he did to his son Chiro the centaur, and to his seven nieces the Pleiads?See page

 

Ouranos, le Ciel. Puis Cronos, le Temps. Et Zeus, c'est le dieu de   quoi ? Du coup de foudre, probablement.

 

Zeus vs Typhoon : a volcanic eruption in Chile, which occurred during a violent storm

Twice, Zeus and his gang defeated Kronos' army. Gaia made then a last attempt, and joining to Tartarus, gave birth to Typhoon,The Flood in person. See page a monster more imposing than the Giants, whose head touched the stars, and who had a hundred dragon's heads in the place of fingers.
Episodes of the struggle took place in the whole world, until Zeus, thanks to thunder and lightning, crushed his opponent under the Etna, in Sicily. Henceforth, Zeus' authority was assured.

 

The Olympians shared the power between them. The golden race will disappear with the Giants. Very soon, the standard man will come from nothingness.Click > below.

 

Zeus holding his thunderbolt, Roman coin


This curious character, nicknamed the astronaut, was engraved by the famous lines and animal figures of Nazca in Peru.To put it plainly, this myth and that of Kronos, tell us that another species came from the stars, the People of Heaven. This species crossed with the People of Earth, generating the golden race: they were very strong men, gifted, "confident as with self as with the universe". The People of Heaven had a starbase on Titan, fourth moon of Saturn,Other name of Kronos  so they were called the Titans. Led by God, those of Titan put an end to endless Time's golden age.See page

 

It means that human life got suddenly very shortened, and the powers of spirit, which the Titans were using so easily, got very decreased.

 

Major collision

 

When Worlds Collide, a Hollywood stinker with uncertain success ...A meteoritic collision threw off Earth's balance, which resumed its slope.See page The shock's violence made an enormous wave spurt out. Flood is the name of this wave, whose crest reached four kilometers high, accompanied with hundreds of volcanic eruptions: the hundred dragon's heads of Flood.According to Bible, Deluge was caused by Elohim. Click + And this was a worldwide disaster, which was crowned in Europe by a terrible eruption of Etna. So all the storie's elements are back in place: the end of a happy time.

 

 The golden race has gone, the Earth resumed his ecliptic angle,See page henceforth men will live a lot less long.It is tha sad Kali yuga, the Iron Age, waiting for Eden's coming back

 

Gone are the golden age, agreed, but is this a reason to pull this face? Yes? Oh.

 

If you have missed the beginning: Time is the father of God. He killed the Sky, his father. But God is no better: he killed the Time to make ephemerals.Click >

 

Le règne de Zeus est celui de la force, de la foudre et du feu
