According to Greek Legend, Uranus {heaven or sky} came every night to cover the Gaea<br />
{Earth} and mate with her. Their first six sons and six daughters were the <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2013/09/titan.html">Titans</a></b>, and then three Hecancheires and three <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2014/06/cyclopes.html">Cyclopes</a></b>.<br />
Fearing the power of his gigantic sons {the <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2014/06/cyclopes.html">Cyclopes</a></b> and Hecatoncheires }, Uranus locked them away in the <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2013/09/tartarus.html">Tartarus</a></b>. Uranus drew the enmity of Gaea when he imprisoned her children in Tartarus. According to other version, to protect her children from her husband { the <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2014/06/cyclopes.html">Cyclopes</a></b> and Hecatoncheires), Gaea hid them all within herself in Tartarus. To prevent more monstrous offspring Gaea plan to castrate Uranus.<br />
Gaea created a great stone sickle and gathered together male Titans to persuade them to castrate Uranus. Only <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2013/09/cronus.html">Cronus</a></b>, youngest and most ambitious of the Titans, was willing. he ambushed his father and castrated him.<br />
However, once in power, Cronus turned into the terrible king, re-imprisoning his sibling the Hecatoncheires and Cyclopes in <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2013/09/tartarus.html">Tartarus</a></b> and set monster Campe as its guard. <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2013/09/cronus.html">Cronus</a></b> swallow each of his children whole as they were born from his sister <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2013/09/rhea.html">Rhea</a></b> {fearing to be overthrown by his offsprings} Rhea however managed to hide her younger child <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2013/09/zeus.html">Zeus,</a></b> by tricking Cronus into swallowing a rock wrapped in a blanket instead.<br />
<a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2013/09/zeus.html">Zeus</a> killed Campe and released the imprisoned giants. The Hecatoncheires fought against the Titan, throwing rocks as big as mountains, one hundred at a time and overwhelming them. After this, the hecatoncheires became the guards of Tartarus.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Briareus</span></b>- One of the Hecatoncheires, was more specifically a god of sea storms and in this guise he was often named Aegaeon. Briareus wed sea god <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.com/2013/09/poseidon.html">Poseidon</a></b>'s daughter Cymopoleia {Wave-Ranging} and dwelt with her in the depths of the sea.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Kottus and Gyes</span></b> -were appointed guardians of the gates of the Tartarus.<br />

So he commanded her to expose the children as soon as they were born. <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/01/tyro.html">Tyro </a></b>later married Cretheus, King of Iolkos, and she bore him three sons (Aison, Amythaon and, Pheres)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> When Pelias and Neleus reached adulthood, they found Tyro and sought revenge against Tyro stepmother Sidero, for mistreated their mother. Sidero hid in a temple to <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/09/hera.html">Hera</a></b> but Pelias killed her anyway, causing <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/09/hera.html">Hera</a></b>'s undying hatred of Pelias. Pelias was power-hungry and he wished to gain dominion over all of Thessaly. To this end, that he banished Neleus and Pherês, and locked Aeson in the dungeons in Iolcus . While in the dungeons, Aeson married and had several children, most famously, <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/04/jason.html">Jason</a></b>. Aeson sent <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/04/jason.html">Jason</a></b> away from Iolcus in fear that Pelias would kill him as an heir to the throne. <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/04/jason.html">Jason</a></b> grew in the care of Chiron the centaur, on Mount Pelium, to be educated while Pelias, paranoid that he would be overthrown, was warned by an oracle to beware a man wearing one sandal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> When <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/04/jason.html">Jason</a></b> was 20 years old, an oracle ordered him to dress as a Magnesian and head to the Iolcan court. While traveling Jason lost his sandal crossing the muddy Anavros river while helping an old woman (<b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/09/hera.html">Hera</a></b> in disguise). Pelias was presiding over a sacrifice to Poseidon with several neighboring kings in attendance. Among the crowd stood a tall youth in leopard skin with only one sandal. Pelias recognized that Jason was his nephew. He could not kill him because prominent kings of the Aeolian family were present. Instead, he asked Jason: "What would you do if an oracle announced that one of your fellow-citizens were destined to kill you?" Jason replied that he would send him to go and fetch the Golden Fleece, not knowing that <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/09/hera.html">Hera</a></b> had put those words in his mouth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> According to some versions, when <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/12/dionysus.html">Dionysus</a></b>, god of wine, was leading his army into India, his adviser and instructor Silenus wandered astray and came to King Midas, who entertained him generously, and gave him a guide to help him find <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/12/dionysus.html">Dionysus</a></b>. (In some versions, it was described that Midas captured Silenus by mixing wine to the waters of a spring called the Spring of Midas.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Because of this favor, Dionysus gave Midas the privilege of asking for whatever he wanted. Midas then asked that whatever he touched should become gold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Midas was particularly excited with his new power and started turning trees and rocks into gold, on his way back home. When he reached his palace, he asked his servants to prepare a grand feast, but to his despair, he soon realized that the food he touched also turned into gold and would soon die of starvation. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even his daughter turned into gold when she greeted her father. Midas, realising that his wish was actually foolish, prayed to <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/12/dionysus.html">Dionysus</a></b>, who told him to wash in the river Pactolus; everything he would place in the river after that would also turn back to normal. Midas went straight to the river and felt his powers leave him and flow into the waters. In fact, the sands of the river turned gold, explaining the rich minerals that were found in the river by the ancient inhabitants of the area. Midas, relieved of his bane, decided to deny all riches and retreated to the countryside and became a follower of the god <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/11/pan.html">Pan</a></b>.</span><br />

But the slave who trimmed his hair discovered his master's new anatomy; and since he was eager to tell it out, but all the same he did not dare to reveal the embarrassing secret, he dug a hole in the ground and into it he whispered about his master's ears.

And he also chose Thebes, as the first city in Hellas to know the vine and its rites because <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/12/semelethyone.html">Semele</a></b>'s sisters, out of jealousy, denied that he was the son of <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/09/zeus.html">Zeus</a></b>. For they declared that <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/12/semelethyone.html">Semele</a></b> had sexual relation with a mortal man, and that <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2016/08/cadmus.html">Cadmus</a></b>, in order to save his daughter's reputation, invented the story of <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/09/zeus.html">Zeus</a></b>' love for her, adding that because of that unholy lie Zeus had killed her. So, in order to punish the intriguers and show them what it meant not to be initiated in the Bacchic rites, <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/12/dionysus.html">Dionysus</a></b> came to the city, and made the Theban women leave their houses in frenzy, having them dwell in the Mount Cithaeron , out of their wits, and wearing the outfits of his mysteries. And he decided that this mad state of affairs should proceed until they acknowledged that Semele had borne a son to <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/09/zeus.html">Zeus</a></b>.</span><br />

Pentheus captured <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/12/dionysus.html">Dionysus</a></b>, and thinking he was simply a follower of the cult, imprisoned him; however, the chains would not bind the god and the cell gate would not close.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/05/thyestes.html">Thyestes</a></b> had been fighting with his brother, <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/05/atreus.html">Atreus</a></b>, for the throne of Mycenae for some time, as well as having an affair with <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/05/atreus.html">Atreus</a></b>' wife, <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/05/aerope.html">Aerope</a></b>. Atreus then learned of <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/05/thyestes.html">Thyestes</a></b>' and <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/05/aerope.html">Aerope</a></b>'s adultery and plotted revenge. He killed Thyestes' sons and cooked them, save their hands and heads. He served Thyestes his own sons and then taunted him with their hands and heads. Thyestes was forced into exile for eating the flesh of a human. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/05/thyestes.html">Thyestes</a></b> visited the Oracle of Delphi, asking how he could have vengeance on his brother, and the Oracle answered that he must lie with his daughter <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/01/pelopia.html">Pelopia</a></b> and beget a son who would avenge him. Thyestes raped Pelopia after she performed a sacrifice, hiding his identity from her.But while <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/05/thyestes.html">Thyestes</a></b> stole her virginity, <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/01/pelopia.html">Pelopia</a></b> stole his sword. Soon after that, Atreus came to Sicyon in search of his brother, met Pelopia in the court, and believing that she was Thesprotus's daughter, asked the king that she be given to him in marriage. The king granted Atreus' wish, Atreus married Pelopia, and she afterward bore Aegisthus. Atreus believed this child to be his own, but Aegisthus was in fact the son of Thyestes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> According to other version, when Aegisthus was born, his mother abandoned him, ashamed of his origin, and he was raised by shepherds and suckled by a goat, hence his name Aegisthus. Atreus, not knowing the baby's origin, took Aegisthus in and raised him as his own son. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> After many years, Thyestes was captured by Agamemnon and Menelaus at Delphi and brought to Atreus, who ordered Aegisthus to kill him. Aegisthus came to the prison to carry out Atreus' order, but he appeared in front of the prisoner wearing the sword that Thyestes had lost when he ravished his own daughter <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/01/pelopia.html">Pelopia</a></b>. When Thyestes asked him where he had got it, Aegisthus replied that his mother <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/01/pelopia.html">Pelopia</a></b> had given it to him. They then summoned Pelopia, who declared that she had stolen it from the unknown man who had raped her by night, the same who was Aegisthus' father. This is how father and son learned who they were, but <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2014/01/pelopia.html">Pelopia</a></b>, realising who the father of her son was, snatched the sword and plunged it in her breast. Aegisthus then killed Atreus and restored the kingdom to Thyestes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> During this period Agamemnon and his brother, Menelaus, took refuge with Tyndareus, King of Sparta. There they respectively married Tyndareus' daughters <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/01/clytemnestra.html">Clytemnestra</a></b> and <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/11/helen.html">Helen</a></b>. Agamemnon and <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/01/clytemnestra.html">Clytemnestra</a></b> had four children: one son, Orestes, and three daughters, Iphigenia, </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2013/11/electra.html">Electra3</a></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> and Chrysothemis. Menelaus succeeded Tyndareus in Sparta, while Agamemnon, with his brother's assistance, drove out Aegisthus and Thyestes to recover his father's kingdom. He extended his dominion by conquest and became the most powerful prince in Greece.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Later, when Trojan War began, Agamemnon left Mycenae for the Trojan War, Aegisthus returned to Mycenae. Agamemnon had left <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/01/clytemnestra.html">Clytemnestra</a></b> with a minstrel (singer), to guard his wife during his absence. As long as the minstrel (singer) was present, Clytemnestra resisted Aegisthus. Aegisthus tricked minstrel (singer), took him to a deserted island, and leave him to be the prey of birds. Aegisthus seduced <b><a href="http://01greekmythology.blogspot.in/2015/01/clytemnestra.html">Clytaemnestra</a></b> and made her his mistress.
