PRESENTATION OUTLINE

CRONUS

BY:MICHAEL BARTHOLOMEW

Cronus is the father of Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus. Cronus is the God of Time and the ages.

Since Cronus was destined to be overthrown by his immortal children he swallowed them whole when they were born. But Cronus's wife Rhea hid away one baby Zeus. Zeus grew up and learned a way to defeat his father and save his brothers and sisters.

When Zeus was in his upper teens or lower twenties he fought his father. Cronus's wife Rhea tricked Cronus into eating a stone that made him throw up his children, when that happened Zeus showed up to lead his brothers and sisters to defeat their father.

When they defeated Cronus they chopped him up and threw his still alive body into the pits of Tartarus, they also threw all the most dangerous Titans into pit too. After the battle Zeus tricked Hades and Poseidon to draw sticks to pick where they are in the rankings (normally the oldest Hades would get the first pick then Poseidon would get second leaving Zeus to whatever's left).

After they drew the sticks who ever got the longest got to pick first. Zeus got the longest stick and picked the God of Thunder, Poseidon drew the second longest and got the God of the Sea, and Hades drew the shortest leaving him to the God of the Underworld.

The moral learned in the story is you can't stop the inevitable.

The Greeks made Myths to explain why daily things happen without using science.
