According to Greek mythology, the beginning of time was called Chaos. When Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Sky)(Heaven) were formed, the six titans came to be. Cronus married his sister Rhea then had six children as well: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. When Cronus received a prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him, he tried to eat all of them. He succeeded with five of then but Rhea managed to save the sixth, Zeus, by giving him a Cronus a rock instead. She then left Zeus on the island of Crete to be raised by the goat Amaltheia. Zeus returned, defeated his father and saved his brothers and sisters. All the titans were sent to punished except for the few who took his side. Cronus was banished to Tartarus. Zeus married his sister, Hera, and the era of the Olympian gods began.
