Best Answer

When Zeus was imprisoned by other gods and goddesses (Hera, Poseidon, and Athena), Thetis was the one that ordered Briareus (a hundred-handed monster, son of Poseidon) to the top of Mt. Olympus so that he may have terrified the other gods, causing them to release the chains restraining Zeus.
