S4E1 - The Olympians and the Titans

The podcast explores the origins of the Greek gods, focusing on the Titans and their eventual overthrow by the Olympians. It begins with the Titans, born from chaos, and their rulers Gaia and Uranus. Uranus imprisons his children, leading Gaia to seek revenge through Cronus, who overthrows him. Cronus, fearing a prophecy, swallows his own children until Zeus is hidden away and later returns to free his siblings. With the help of the Cyclopes, Hecatonchires, and Titans like Prometheus, Zeus and the Olympians wage war against Cronus and the Titans. The war ends with the Olympians victorious, the Titans imprisoned, and Zeus becoming the ruler of the gods after a drawing of straws with his brothers Hades and Poseidon.
