Welcome to greek mythology!

This is a the family tree of the olympian gods:

Here's how to make a list:

The family tree of the main gods also known as the Olympian Gods originates from titans known as Cronus and Rhea.

Cronus was the ruling titan who came into power by castrating his father Uranus.His wife was Rhea , while their offspring were the first Olympians. To ensure his safety, Cronus ate each of his children as they were born. This worked until Rhea unhappy at the loss of her children, tricked Cronus into swallowing a rock instead of Zeus.When he grew up, Zeus revolted against Cromus and the other titans defeating them and banishing them to Tartarus in the underworld. Cronus managed to escape to Italy, where he ruled as Saturn.The period of his rule is said to be the golden age on earth, honoured by the Saturnalia feast. A festival was also held in Athens honouring Cronus; it was called Kronia and it took place on the twelfth day of the month Hekatombaion. Cronus is also called Saturn,Kronos,Cronos.

Rhea was one of the Titans, daughter of Uranus and Gaea. She was the sister and wife of Cronus, also a Titan. She was responsible for the way things flow in the kingdom of Cronus (her name means 'that which flows'). Rhea and Cronus had six children; Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera and Zeus. Cronus, afraid that he would be overthrown by his children just like he had done with his father, decided to swallow all of them. However, he was tricked by Rhea, who managed to save Zeus from his father. When Zeus grew up, he forced his father to disgorge his siblings and eventually overthrew him. Although Rhea was considered the "mother of gods", similarly to Gaea and Cybele, she did not have a strong cult and many followers. She had a temple in Crete, the place in which she hid Zeus to save from his father. In art, she started appearing in the fourth century BC; however, she was often depicted with characteristics similar to those used for Cybele, thus making the two goddesses indistinguishable. Rhea was often symbolised as a pair of lions that pulled a celestial chariot. This symbol was often placed on city gates, the best known example being that at the city of Mycenae, where two stone lions guarded the gates. Rhea Is also called Ops, Rea.
