You think you know a story, but you only know how it ends.
To get to the heart of the story, you have to go back to the beginning...


Welcome to The Greeks.


It started with King Ouranos and Queen Gaia ruling the skies, as co-regnants. The King and Queen had many children, but Ouranos imprisoned most of them in Tartarus. The Titans, however, were not among these; they lived as princes in the his court. Queen Gaia, displeased with the treatment of her children, provided Prince Kronos with a sickle, and urged the Titans to depose their father. They freed their brethren, then fought King Ouranos, until Prince Kronos defeated him, castrating him with a sickle. Kronos then chose his sister, Rheia, as his consort, and they began to rule the skies from Mount Othrys. But Ouranos and Gaia made a prophecy, that King Kronos' children would depose him, just as he had deposed his father. So, he ate each of his children as they were born to Rheia. But he could not avoid the prophecy...

The Titanomachy has ended, and the three princes, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus have defeated their father and his forces.

This week's mini-synopsis:
The three young princes draw lots, to see who will be king of which realm. Zeus takes the Skies, Poseidon, the Seas, and Hades, the Underworld.
Each of the three young kings works to establish their courts, and build magnificent palaces.
Zeus asks Metis to be his first wife and queen.
And more...
