Titanomachy

Known as the Clash of the Titans or Battle of the Gods, Zeus was a key warrior in the Titanomachy, the battle between the Olympian Gods and his father Cronus' Titans. The Olympians defeated the Titans and Zeus became recognised as the King of the Gods. He shared the world with his two brothers, Poseidon and Hades. Zeus received the heavens, Poseidon the seas, and Hades the underworld.

The abduction of Persephone

Hades kidnaps Persephone and takes her down into the underworld. Persephone's mother, Demeter, is distraught and looks all across the world to find her daughter. Demeter is the Goddess of the harvest, and so all the crops begin to die because she is preoccupied on her search. The Gods came to a compromise to stop humanity from being wiped out, and Persephone could return to earth. However, Hades had tricked Persephone into eating some pomegranate seeds, and therefore she would have to spend one third of her year in the underworld as Hades' wife.
