Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
For ten years the Titanomachy set the Titans, the older generation of gods led by Cronus, against the Olympians of Zeus. This course does not linger on the story of the war itself. It follows what came next: the handing out of punishments, then the last storm of chaos.
Winning was not enough. Zeus had to make the cosmos stable: assign punishments, turn enemies into pillars of the world, then face the Giants that Gaia, Mother Earth, brought forth to punish him. Here's how the Olympian order truly took hold.
