How did a war begin between the Titans and Zeus?
Cronos, Zeus' father, was Titan. There was a prophecy that a son born to Cronos would overthrow him. So Cronos ate all of his kids. But his wife, Rhea, saved Zeus and had nymphs raise him. Zeus grew up and Rhea brought him to the palace to be the wine bearer. Cronos was pleased. One day Zeus made a concoction that caused Cronos to vomit up the gods inside him, Zeus' siblings. Cronos had also had the 100 Handed Ones and the Cyclops, which he sent into exile. In the war, Zeus and his siblings along with the 100 Handed Ones and Cyclops and some of the other Titans, they fought against Cronos. At the end, Cronos was sliced up and thrown into the pits of Tartarus. This is not historical, since it is a Greek myth.

How did the continent of Europe get its name?
In Greek mythology, Europa was a Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus in bull form and taken to the island of Crete, where she gave birth to Minos, Rhadamanthus and Sarpedon. For Homer, Europe (Greek: Εὐρώπη Eurṓpē; see also List of traditional Greek place names) was a mythological queen of Crete, not a geographical designation. Later Europa stood for mainland Greece, and by 500 BC its meaning had been extended to lands to the north. In etymology one theory suggests the name Europe is derived from the Greek words meaning broad (eurys) and face (ops) - broad having been an epithet of Earth itself in the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European religion; see Prithvi (Plataia). A minority, however, suggest this Greek popular etymology is really based on a Semitic word such as the Akkadian erebu meaning "sunset", cognate to Arabic maghreb, Hebrew ma'ariv. (see also Erebus). From the Middle Eastern vantage point, the sun does set over Europe, the lands to the west. Likewise, Asia is sometimes thought to have derived from a Semitic word such as the Akkadian asu, meaning "sunrise", and is the land to the east from a Middle Eastern perspective. For centuries, the Turks used the term Frengistan (land of the Franks) in referring to Europe. The majority of major world languages use words derived from "Europa" to refer to the continent - e.g. Chinese uses the word Ōuzhōu (歐洲), which is an abbreviation of the transliterated name Ōuluóbā zhōu (歐羅巴洲).
