The first god of Greek mythology: Uranos

author:Small people

Uranos, the god of heaven, was the son of The Earth Goddess Caia. Soon after his birth, he grew into a handsome-looking teenager. Later, he married his mother Caia and became the lord of heaven and earth. After Uranos ascended to the throne of the gods, he transformed the territory he ruled. First, he divided the universe into many parts, and then further shaped the Earth. In the densely forested place, he drew a babbling spring with his scepter; in the endless plains, he stomped on his feet, and a huge crater appeared, and the water gushed out and became a sparkling pond and swamp lake. Rain rain fell from the sky and merged into streams and rivers, rushing to the vast sea. The wilderness stretches, the valley sinks, the peaks rise, the trees grow... The world became similar to what it is today. Then, he took pains to make different climatic zones appear on earth: the hottest of them were the tropics; the places with snow and snow at both ends were cold zones; the temperate zones sandwiched between cold and hot had mild climates that alternated between cold and summer.

Under the rule of the god Uranos, the universe became orderly: the sun and the moon alternated, the stars flashed, the fish flew into the sea, the beasts ran south mountains, the insects chirped, and the birds flew towards the phoenix. And as the god of heaven, he and the earth mother Caia gave birth to a large number of children. The earth mother Caia gave birth twice. The first time he gave birth to twelve Titan gods; the second time, he gave birth to a group of monsters, tall and tall, not to mention, and his strength was frightening. One of the monsters was tall and arm-length, born with one-eyed eyes, upside down on his forehead, flashing green light, and a horizontal and straight eyebrow on his eyes, as if painted on a brush. His appearance was ugly enough, but compared to his three brothers, he was a handsome man. His three brothers were more than twice as tall as he was, with fifty heads around their necks and a hundred hairy hands growing on their shoulders. When they fought with people, the hundred giant eyes on their heads emitted fiery red flames, fifty large mouths roared in the sky, and a hundred giant hands opened their teeth and danced their claws, fierce and fierce.

The god Uranos was able to foresee the future, and he sensed a danger: the best of his many children would inevitably overthrow him. Therefore, the god Uranos hated and feared the child. He secretly observed the children, and it was these monsters that made him feel especially afraid. He exploits the monsters' weaknesses of well-developed limbs and simple minds to lure them into a secret cave and secretly shut them down. This incident infuriated the mother of the earth, Caia. She searched for any places near their palace where the children might be playing, and her voice was hoarse, but there was no response. When he asked about Uranos, he went over and made Tim Gaia happy with clever words.

Mother Gaia could not find her monster child, so she had to guard the side of these titan gods with greater vigilance. Although they are older than the monster brother, they are still learning to speak in the cradle. For these babies who had no power to tie their hands, Uranos could not let go of his heart, and stole them one by one and hid them in another secret dark place. Only Kronos, the youngest of the titan gods, did not let Uranos succeed because the earth mother Caia liked him the most and kept him close. On the contrary, due to the mystery of Uranos' recent whereabouts, Caia became suspicious of him. One day, Uranos took advantage of Caia's absence from Kronos, crept to the cradle, looked around, saw no one, and picked up the child and turned around. At this time, Uranos, who was secretly happy, had no idea that she had fallen into The trap of Gaia, and she was hiding to the side and secretly observing it. As soon as Uranos left, Gaia quietly followed him, all the way to the place where Uranos had secretly hidden the god Titan. It was a dark cave underground. Uranos threw Kronos down and hurried away. Caia made a mark on the place and hurried back to the palace. She saw the empty cradle and began to cry bitterly, and Uranos falsely dripped a few tears on the side.

Gaia saw through Uranos's ruse, but could not fight it directly. She could not fight the cruel and brutal Uranos, and could only secretly carry him to visit the child. There were Kronos and other titan gods, but the monsters didn't know where they were imprisoned. The children grew up in the dark places of seclusion. When the youngest sons were already celebrating their eighteenth birthdays, Caia felt that the time had come. She told her sons about the events, hoping that after they understood the truth, they would overthrow Uranos. She found the gray volcanic stone and sharpened it into a large scythe.

She told the children, "Son, down with your evil and evil father. This guy is so hateful that he is afraid that you will seize power, so he abandons you and locks you up in this dark place! ”

Her sons were all powerful, but they didn't know it, they were afraid of Uranos. Only the youngest son Kronos was not afraid, he pushed away the silent brother in front of him, walked to his mother, shook her hand, and said, "Mother, I listen to you, we should drive this villain out of the heavenly court, but how to deal with that old guy?" ”

Gaia shook the big scythe in his hand and said, "Child, with this, you can go and fight with him." ”

Kronos hesitated, shook his head, and said, "Mother, I can't guarantee victory one hundred percent with my strength alone." Why don't we do that? He whispered to Pya's ear. Caia was very happy to hear this and nodded his head repeatedly.

Caia returned to the palace and dressed herself carefully against the pool, she painted incense powder and put on the most beautiful clothes. Today's Caia is particularly beautiful, not only is she not old, but the vicissitudes of the years have added a mature charm to her. Night soon fell, and Uranos, who had returned from a tour of the heavenly court, saw his wife, and his eyes lit up. The two gods were in the middle of the palace, and after eating and drinking, they went to bed. Uranos, full of passion, lay down on Theath. At this time, Kronos, who had been ambushed under the bed for a long time, rushed out, grabbed his father with his left hand, and the sharp scythe in his right hand gently waved his father. The injured Uranos didn't even have time to put on his clothes and rushed out naked, but Kronos's brothers were already surrounded. Although they were afraid of their father, they did not want their mother and brother to be in danger of life. Uranos, who has no way to escape, is like a lost dog, and is caught by Kronos again. Kronos grabbed the key point of his waist and threw it hard, and Uranos fell from the sky. When Uranos, who was seriously injured, fell, his wounds dripped blood and splashed on the ground, becoming the three goddesses of vengeance. After nine days and nine nights, Uranos fell to the darkest cave underground, Tartaros, and could never turn over.

The reign of Uranos was over. Kronos and his brothers rescued the monster brother again. At the Meeting of the Gods of Olympus, kronos was unanimously elected as the lord of the new generation. Thus began the Kronos era.
