According to Greek myth, the universe was once a dark, swirling void called Chaos. Gaia, Goddess of Earth, was born out of the swirls of Chaos. She made the mountains and the sea. She also created the God of the Sky, Uranus.
Gaia and Uranus had 18 children. The first 12 were gods called Titans. The next three were Cyclopes — huge beasts with one eye in the middle of their heads. The last three were monsters called the Hundred-Handed Ones. Each had 50 heads and 100 arms. Gaia loved all her children, but Uranus was terrified of them.
Uranus imprisoned the Cyclopes and the Hundred-Handed Ones in Tartarus, a dungeon deep within the Earth. He was also afraid the Titans would overthrow him, so he pushed them back into Gaia’s womb.

But Cronus turned out to be as power-hungry and fearful as his father. He imprisoned the monsters in Tartarus again and sent Campe, a she-dragon, to guard them.
Cronus married another Titan named Rhea. Every time Rhea had a baby, Cronus gulped it down, trapping it in his belly.
