Eurinome danced to warm up, more and more unbridled, until offer, feeling lustful, curled around those divine members and felt desire to copulate with her. This is how Eurinome was pregnant."
In the beginning, the world was a confusing mass where all things mixed forming a total chaos;Period that endured for many eras, it was then that the goddess "gea" and other celestial divinities, decided to place the order worldwide, Mother Earth, without the intervention of any divinity, creates the god of heaven "Uranus", whoreigns above all things. The Great God Uranus and the Goddess Gea, joined in an act of divinity and as a product of that, engendered very powerful children. Among them are the Titans, the Cyclops and the Hecatónquiros or Hecatónqueros.
The God was very fearful of being destroyed by his children, so after his birth, Uranus confined them in the belly of the goddess, in a place called the prison of the Tartar, causing Gea an intense pain because he was forcedto contain within itself divine beings and bearers of colossal powers.
The goddess, was already tired of torment, oppression and tyranny of Uranus, began to plot the way of folding him, then he frees her youngest and most strong son, the Titan Cronos, and implores him to release the tyrannyof his father and take for himself the power to reign over the universe.

At nightfall and Cronos is visited by his father’s spectrum who says: “You are an infamous offspring, who stained his hands with his father’s blood and in the same way that you snatched me the supreme power, one day tooYou will be stripped ". After demolishing his father from the heavenly throne, Cronos begins his reign as the supreme god of all the world.
In that it was, throughout the golden period, also peace and harmony prevailed in the world, in a state of abundance and incessant spring, which made work like agriculture unnecessary, where the word need made no sense. On the other hand, the life of the gods was not of peace and tranquility like that of men, Cronos, like his father, had become a tyrant, since he used to shout the following expression: “Here I command and nobodyplus".

The goddess Rea was desolate, to see that as a child after another was devoured by the tyrant god. The Queen was again embaraza, but this time she reveals himself and decides that her son will not serve more food for Cronos, for this she descends to the earth on the island of Crete and gives birth to Zeus, in a cave, where she delivers herson to the nymphs of the forest to be a breeder for them.

Now with the support of his brothers, Zeus claims for himself the power to govern the world, but Cronos is not willing to give power without fighting a disastrous war between Titans.
THE WAR OF THE TITANES
Zeus, having taken the power of God Cronos and released his brothers from his father’s bowels, this betrayal gave rise to "titanomaquia" or the war of the Titans. On the one hand was Cronos and his allies, and on the other side Zeus and his brothers, who directed by him, had as headquarters the Mount Olympus, for that reason they were called as "the gods of Olympus". While Cronos and the Titans took refuge in the "Monte Otris", the Army of Cronos had as general the powerful titan "Atlas", who would lead the attacks to the Olympic gods. Zeus very aware of the power of the Titans, seeks reinforcements in the Tartar, where he frees the powerful Cyclops, who in gratitude, forge powerful weapons for the gods; Zeus received thunder and lightning from him; Poseidon, received a trident, capable of causing terrible storms and earthquakes and hades elmo del terror, which gave him the power of invisibility.

Once the war was over and for having fought with honor, the god Zeus gave him his trust and entrusted him with the task of populating the earth and doing it to his taste, but as soon as he ends, it is Zeus himself who first approves his first creation.
Then, Prometheus, created all wild animals, whom he gave life after Zeus approved it. In the same way, Prometheus molds the clay and creates erect images very similar to the gods, this is proud that he decides to give them life without the approval of the god Zeus, because he was very convinced that as soon as he saw them he would give him his consent, that ofFact did not happen, on the contrary, the God was so angry, that since then he cared little humanity and the only one who cared for them was Prometheus, from such a point that he cheated the same gods to benefit the man. One day after the limits passed and above the will of the gods, the titan, decides to steal the eternal fire and give it to men, so that they would not die of cold.
This action, outraged Zeus and ordered him to arrest him, as a consequence of his actions, Perseus was judged and condemned to chain to a rock, where an eagle perched on his stomach and devoured his liver, the same that regenerated every night, So that it is ready so that the next day, the eagle will devour it every, every day and for all eternity.

When the trial ended, Zeus went to see Hefestos, god of fire and forge to ask him to create a woman, as beautiful as fearsome, to punish men, to which the name "Pandora" and to ensure that hispunishment will work, sent it to the world of men, carrying with them a box worthy of the gods ordering what happens, should never open that box. However, Zeus knew that it was enough to tell the man what he should not do so that he disobeys and did the opposite.
When Pandora arrived, everyone was curious to know what the box contained;Curiosity in which she was also involved, so much so that one day regardless of the consequences, she decided to open it, as soon as she opened all the evils that overwhelm humanity, death, hunger, selfishness, war, destruction, destruction, began to get out of itand all kinds of mortal diseases. Pandora tried to close the box but it was too late, and the only thing he could contain within her was hope;That is why until today we can say that hope is the last thing that is lost.
