Zeus is depicted as a tall muscular man with white, brown or gray beard, much like his father, Kronos and brother, Poseidon as well as Hades. As for the palace at Mount Othrys, It was buried beneath hundreds of boulders thrown by the Hekatonkheires. Iapetos, Koios, Krios and Hyperion were imprisoned in Tartarus, Kronos was cut into pieces with his own scythe before being thrown into Tartarus, Atlas was cursed to forever hold up the sky, Menoitios was struck down by a Thunderbolt from Zeus and thrown into Erebos. A ten-year war erupted between the Olympians and the Titans and their allies and the Olympians and theirs. Zeus then killed Kampe (the dragon lady who had been acting as the jailer for the Elder Cyclops and the Hekatonkheires) Zeus freed the Elder Cyclops and the Hekatonkheires recruiting them for battle. The Elder Cyclops and the Hekatonkheires helped build the palace on Mount Olympus and built weapons for the Olympians. The three forged The Helm of Darkness for Hades, A Trident for Poseidon and Lightning Bolt for Zeus. Not long after Zeus allied himself with his brothers, the three went to Tartarus where they convinced the Elder Cyclops to make them weapons. After gaining Kronos' trust he eventually served him a mixture of mustard and wine which made Kronos ill and caused him to vomit up the five children he had eaten. When Zeus came of age he entered the service of his father becoming his father's cupbearer. Meanwhile, Rhea gave a boulder wrapped in blankets to Kronos who ate that instead. The Kouretes & Daktyloi were three, five, or nine rustic Daimones (Spirits) appointed by Rhea to guard the infant god Zeus In order to keep him safely hidden from his cannibalistic father, the Titan Kronos, they drowned out his cries with a frenzied dance of clashing spear and shield.

His other full siblings had been eaten by Kronos as soon as they were born (Kronos had been hoping to avoid one of them overthrowing him) Rhea however gave birth to Zeus in a cave on Mount Ida in Crete where she hid him. Myths also exist of his conflict with the sea creature (possibly a snake or serpent) Hedammu ( CTH 348).Zeus was the sixth child of Kronos & Rhea. His son was called Sarruma, the mountain god.Īccording to Hittite myths, one of Teshub's greatest acts was the slaying of the dragon Illuyanka. In the Hurrian schema, Teshub was paired with Hebat the mother goddess in the Hittite, with the sun goddess Arinniti of Arinna-a cultus of great antiquity which has similarities with the venerated bulls and mothers at Çatalhöyük in the Neolithic era. Teshub's brothers are Aranzah (personification of the river Tigris), Ullikummi (stone giant) and Tashmishu.
The Hurrian myth of Teshub's origin-he was conceived when the god Kumarbi bit off and swallowed his father Anu's genitals-is similar to the Greek story of Uranus, Cronus, and Zeus, which is recounted in Hesiod's Theogony. The sacred bull common throughout Anatolia was his signature animal, represented by his horned crown or by his steeds Seri and Hurri, who drew his chariot or carried him on their backs. Teshub is depicted holding a triple thunderbolt and a weapon, usually an axe (often double-headed) or mace. The Hittite weather-god wielding a thunderbolt and an axe. Teshub reappears in the post-Hurrian cultural successor kingdom of Urartu as Tesheba, one of their chief gods in Urartian art he is depicted standing on a bull. These reforms can generally be categorized as an official incorporation of Hurrian deities into the Hittite pantheon, with a smaller number of important Hurrian gods (like Teshub) being explicitly identified with preexisting major Hittite deities (like Taru). Taru/Tarhun/Tarhunt was ultimately assimilated into and identified with the Hurrian Teshub around the time of the religious reforms of Muwatalli II, ruler of the Hittite New Kingdom in the early 13th century BCE. In these two, Taru was known as Tarhun / Tarhunt- / Tarhuwant- / Tarhunta, names derived from the Anatolian root *tarh "to defeat, conquer". Taru was the name of a similar Hattic storm god, whose mythology and worship as a primary deity continued and evolved through descendant Luwian and Hittite cultures. Teshub (also written Teshup, Teššup, or Tešup cuneiform dIM hieroglyphic Luwian ( DEUS) TONITRUS, read as Tarhunzas Ugaritic 𐎚𐎘𐎁, TṮB ) was the Hurrian god of sky, thunder, and storms.
