Greek Book of Random Facts (Draft- lot of typos)



Hello let me just say I love to read Rick Riordan books so thanks to him I learned a lot. Most of this information was from Percy Jackson Greek heroes and Greek gods so really good books really recommend it. A LOT. Okay so let’s get onto the book.









The beginning and other stuff
Let's begin, so it started off with uh.. okay, umm I don't know what to call it but the thing was called Chaos. It was a gloomy, misty thingy formed by who knows what? BUT Chaos created a earth goddess called Gaea, yeah, the bad dude from Heroes of Olympus from my favourite author Rick Riordan. Well, she was a earth like women that was the earth. She can transform into a human being and walked on the earth which is basically walking on yourself which honestly is really weird. Back then ,she was the only person on the planet so one day, she decided to go get pray that Chaos for another god called Uranus I mean that's like the worst the name anyone can think of, and they named a planet after it, I mean, why can't call himself something good like skull crusher or master of death or something but not Uranus. Okay let's keep going, well Gaea married Uranus and they had kids. well not really kids, they were more like monsters, one called Heckatonkeriez and another one called Cyclops. Then, the had another set of kids but this time was 12 ,yep ,they just gave birth to the titans, Kronos, Rhea, Krios, Phoebe, Oceanus, Koios , Iapetus, Hyperion, Tethys, Thesis and some others. Meanwhile , Chaos went nuts making 2 more gods, tarturas and Pontus. Tarturas married chaos, and how in the world did that work out? Don’t ask me, but Pontus stayed single. Let’s say that Uranus was a bad dad because he was. So gaea told a specific titan called Kronos to chop up Uranus. So gaea arranged a nice romantic date while meanwhile Kronos was stalking them. Then suddenly Kronos jumped out wherever he was hiding and went like “ Hi dad! enjoy death” but Kronos sliced Uranus up with his scythe and poured him in water. And then long story short, titan married titans making more titans married titans making god married titans making more gods or titan. Yah. Like that. Okay ,one special note. Kronos proposed to Rhea and they married making the 5 senior gods, Zeus, Poseidon, hades, Demeter and Hera. Yeah and they married, and what the heck they made like fifty thousand gods or something. Okay god dictionary, Zeus is Jupiter. Hera is Juno. Hephaestus is Vulcan . Aphrodite is Venus. Poseidon is Neptune. ARES IS MARES. APOLLO IS UMM.. APOLLO. ARTEMIS IS DIANA. HADES IS Pluto Athena is Minerva. HERMES IS Mercury. Eros is Cupid Bacchus is Dionysus . DEMETER IS CERES. PERSEPHONE IS proserpina. ( More on those gods later.
So Athena became of goddess of wisdom chapter 2
Okay in case you beautiful people didn’t know this, well Zeus fell in love with a titan called Metis. When Métis became pregnant with Zeus so he went to the oracle of Delphi to see what the heck will happen. Well the oracle said the prophecy about their daughters turning on him and taking his thrown. I don’t exactly know what the words are exactly but I am sure Zeus went totally nuts and swallowed Métis whole. So since titans and gods are technically immortal. Métis didn’t exactly die. She gave birth to her daughter in Zeus guts. Then Métis escaped by turning into like literally pure energy and woo hoo she went out of the uhh..rear end. Then when Athena was in Zeus guts, she was stuck, stranded in a guys guts. Pretty gross to me. But she turned into pure energy, like her mother and went up up up into the throat and eventually to the brain. In the brain she went nuts giving Zeus a massive headache day and night. And one morning when she had enough, she started yelling “ LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!” Or something like that. But one day Zeus went like…fricken completely nuts and told Hephaestus to crack his skull open to let Athena out. And when she got out she was like” hi people, I am Athena goddess of warfare and wisdom.” And she was dressed up in full battle armour. I have no idea how but either Zeus ate clothing for snack or Athena was born with it ( which makes no sense to me.) Then Ares was like “ hey! what the hell
- I am supposed to be the god of war!” And then Athena was like “ I said warfare and wisdom you stupid, manly man who loves bloody war you maniac.” And then Ares was like “ that’s better, wait what?” Yeah that’s how Athena got born. LATER ZEUS SEND ATHENA TO NORTH AFRICA NEAR Libya to hang out with some water nymphs. Athena and the nymphs became friends in no time. Like, it makes sense because they’re all really good at hand to hand combat so I guess they’re the same kinda of. But Athena’s favorite was Pallas. She was the only one that could beat Athena in hand to hand combat. One day Zeus was watching Athena practice spear fighting with Pallas.then when Pallas went for a strike Zeus kinda went overprotective. He held up his shield Aegis. And that distracted Pallas real good. Then When Athena deflected the strike it was all over for Pallas. Pallas normally would’ve dodge it. But the distraction completely made her lose her mind…kinda of… okay but she got impaled in the guts. Dead. I think Zeus forgot that gods and goddesses are immortal. Well Athena was heartbroken and she sobbed.when he noticed Zeus he was like “ Why? Why Father?” She screamed and then Zeus/Jupiter was like” oops better go” and then Zeus disappeared into the clouds.
