rhea, the great mother (asteroid 577)

The titaness of fruitfulness, Rhea, was the daughter of Uranus and Gaea. Rhea grew up to marry her brother Cronus who was fated and prophesied to be overthrown by one of his children. This of course lead to the an event we have perviously talked in depth about - swallowing of each of their children until Zeus whom Rhea hide from Cronus. IN MY OPINION Rhea in your chart can represent a) fertility, b) your sense of motherhood, c) what you hide in your relationships, and/or d) where you plot against those closest to you.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of rhea along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of rhea AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede rhea!

“Kronos, what’s wrong?”

no fp spoilers pls!

ok rambling time-

I’ve had this idea since ep200, ‘cause Rhea saying Kronos wanted to plunge the world into darkness felt too basic to be literal? So in my headcanon, Kronos was trying to stop time (ironic, isn’t it?). Before the Moirae were born, Kronos could see a vast variety of timelines and directions their future could go, and nothing was on a set path. But then once the Moirae are created (in this headcanon they’re Nyx’ children) and every choice anyones ever made is strung together and set spinning on track to, well, a designated fate. And Kronos is the god of time, but more specifically he’s the inevitability of time, so he knows more than anyone how doomed they are, and he feels trapped because they used to have all these options and control over their destinies, and they don’t anymore- all the possible timelines went dark and fuzzy and out of reach. So Kronos goes mad trying to forcefully reach those other timelines, spends so much time dipping in and out of the present and futures that will never be that he loses track of what’s real and what’s not- and when that doesn’t work, he decides to try to stop time altogether (and never succeeds, as Rhea disappears and Zeus defeats him before he’s able to gather enough energy and power to do something like end a Titan and their godhead completely)

Hi! I have some questions, before the castration of Uranus, were the titans trapped inside Gaia or was it only the cyclops and hekatonkheires? It was unclear to me while reading the theogony. And also the fact that Oceanus didn't want to participate in the plan, which I guess means that he wasn't lock up? I thought Cronus castrated his father because his mother was suffering, but then he doesn't release his siblings, so the pain continues for Gaia until Zeus arrives?

Hello, anon! c:

Parts of the Theogony is definitely rather confusingly phrased! I think it's intended to be all of them;

"And he used to hide them all away in a secret place of Earth so soon as each was born"

Yes, the line before is about the Hekatoncheires and how much Uranus hates them, specifically, but that line is probably intended to be for each and every one, from the Titans to the Cyclopes and the Hekatoncheires.

And no; it was actually all of the children, aside from Kronos, who didn't dare attack their father when Gaia asks;

"So she said; but fear seized them all, and none of them uttered a word."

You might be mixing that up with the Olympians' (and their Titan allies') fight against their father and the Titans who stay on his side? Because that fight Oceanus (and presumably Tethys?) stayed out of, aiding neither side. (This is in the Bibliotheke, not the Theogony, though.)

As for the pain thing - I think you could go either way on this. Gaia's pain isn't mentioned again after it's initially brought up/after Kronos chops off his father's genitals, so maybe the Titans being freed is enough to lighten the burden enough she isn't in pain, but still angry the other children haven't been freed. On the other hand, maybe she is, and either of these two could easily be motivations for why she aids Rhea and later the Olympians in their fight against their father.

(And then immediately apparently changes her mind when at least some of the Titans who fought against Zeus and the rest are imprisoned in Tartaros lol)

I finally drew the Hecatoncheires! Well, partially anyway. The dude is just really awkward and they feel unwelcomed during a party/celebration, Rhea is nice enough to approach them and do some small talk. Actually the cyclops are here too and they feel the same way but I didn’t feel like drawing them. Kronos isn’t jealous its more like: “why are you talking to that freak?” kind of thing. He never really liked them and the cyclops because he thought they were sus and ugly, hence why he re-imprisoned them.

rhea gives kronos a bomb baby instead of a stone baby (x)

Like I said before, I headcanon Rhea to still be alive. In the aftermath of the war, the enemies were chained at a crater between mountains but Kronos was at an isolated cave away from his allies while everything was being sorted out. During Atlas’ battle, he got struck by his father’s spear. It’s a special spear to which if you get hit your wound will never heal and it’s really inconvenient.

Since Rhea is a fertility goddess she can heal this special kind of injury(also notice the small patch of grass that’s growing while she’s healing?), Kronos can actually heal this too with his time powers but he’s out of the picture. Tbh I wanted some feels, she still cares for her nephew despite the bad shit he had to do for the war plus she knows that he’s gonna go through something worse once Zeus becomes king.

Epimetheus isn’t imprisoned too btw since he was neutral about the whole war, he’s just there to tend Atlas’ wounds(maybe other people too?) Zeus allowed it as long as there isn’t any funny business and with supervision.

Finally, a proper drawing of Iapetus. Actually, both him and Atlas fought alongside each other during the final battle and he got hit by his spear and it passed through straight into his head. He would often fall in and out of consciousness because of this but he just doesn’t want Rhea to heal him because she’s a traitor in his eyes. To him, this is all her fault because if she had just let her sons perish then the Titan’s would have still reigned.
