#TitanomachyWar

[tylermileslockett]

OLYMPIANS INTRODUCTION

Having defeated the Storm God Typhon, Zeus and his siblings: Hera, Hestia, Poseidon, Demeter, and Hades now reign supreme, along with Zeus children: Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Dionysus, and Hera’s son Hephaestus. After the Titanomachy war, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades divide up the three major realms, with Zeus taking the heavens, Poseidon the seas, and Hades the underworld.

One key point to remember is that the Olympian gods are ageless and immortal but not invincible. This results in fascinating episodes in The Iliad when the Greek hero Diomedes wounds Aphrodite and Apollo in battle, or the Poem by Hesiod “Shield of Herakles,” where Herakles wounds Ares with a spear thrust to his thigh in a chariot duel. Indeed, it is the consuming of Nectar and Ambrosia which sustains the god’s immortal blood like substance called Ichor.

Please keep in mind that Hades, although one of the original children of Cronus and sibling to Zeus, was given the realm of underworld to reign over, and because he does not live upon Olympus, is not considered an Olympian. Before we dive into the individual Olympian Gods, lets first turn to their Acropolis kingdom sitting majestically upon the peak of Mount Olympus.
