After the Olympian gods' victory over the titans, Mother Earth Gaea became very angry with Zues, because she felt that he had treated her sons, the Titans, unjustly. Gaea mated with Tartarus, the symbolization of the depths of the underworld, to create a monster that would destroy Zeus and take his place. They gave the monster the name Typhoon. Typhoon had terrifying features and enormous powers. The bare sight of the creature was enough for the Olympian gods to run away scared and flee to Egypt where they transformed into animals. Only Zeus was brave enough to deal with Typhoon. Armed with lighting bolts, he sprang from mount olympous and burnt down all hundred heads of the creature. Then, he cut him into pieces and finally he sent him to the depths of the Underworld to stay forever beneath his father, the Tartarus.
