Have you ever wondered who the 12 Olympian gods of Greek mythology were and what they were all about? I mean forget everything you learnt from those boring history lessons, we’re taling about the real stories! Yes, we're going to bring this ancient mythology to life! Shall we begin?

Let’s start with a little backstory. You see, the 12 Olympian gods and goddesses were the third generation of gods in Greek mythology. The Olympian gods were basically born from the were the first generation of gods. the Titans! You see, the leader of the Titans, Cronus, was a bit of a paranoid guy. He feared that his own children would overthrow him just as he had overthrown his father. So to prevent this, he swallowed his children as soon as they were born. Yup, you heard that, right. he ate em!

However, his fears proved to be true. His wife, Rhea, couldn't bear to see her children suffer the same fate as their siblings. So, she secretly gave birth to Zeus and hid him away from Cronus. Now, our little Zeus grew up to be a strong and powerful god, and when he was old enough, he managed to free his siblings from Cronus' belly.

Now other than these big gods, there;s two other smaller deities who aren’t considered that much. But we can’t let them down, right? First up, we have Hestia, the goddess of the hearth. She was the final sister of Zeus and the most gentle of all the goddesses. Hestia protected the home and the earth, and originally, she was one of the twelve Olympians.
Now, let's talk about Hades, the king of the underworld. Hades was the god of the dead, overseeing the underworld and the souls that came there. Like we said before; despite his important role, Hades was not welcome among the other gods or mortals. He was usually described as a sour, stern, and unsympathetic individual. However, Hades had a soft spot for his wife, Persephone, and did everything he could to keep her safe and happy.

So alright guys, this is the story of the 12 greek gods, but this is just a scrape of what’s underneath and there’s a tonne of stories behind these gods. But you guys kjnow where to look for; so better stay tuned and we’ll meet again in another episode, soon!
