  1. The Greek myths By : Molly Badger

  2. Beliefs • The Greeks believed in the Gods such as Zeus, but where did it all start? Well it all started many eons ago when Uranus ruled the world. He had one son, Kronos. Kronos wanted to rule so he took his scythe and chopped up his father. Rhea was the wife of Kronos and they had the 3 elder Gods as there children but Kronos did not trust his children so he ate them. Except for Zeus whom Rhea had hid in a cave and gave Kronos a rock to eat instead. When Zeus got old enough he gave his father a mixture of mustard and wine so he disgorged his other children who being immortal grew up completely undigested in the titans stomach. Then there was a war and Zeus copped up his father with his fathers scythe and the Gods won.
