The story of queen Niobe

Once in a royal Ceremony, Queen Niobe, in a fit of arrogance boasted about how she was a better mother than Leto, my mother, because she had given birth to fourteen kids. Obviously, I couldn’t tolerate anything said to my mother. Me and my twin sister Artemis slayed all fourteen of her children. Niobe approached my father, Zeus, to ask for forgiveness, to save her last child but even my father couldn’t save her child. She begged Zeus to turn her into stone so she wouldn’t have to feel the pain.

The story of Uranus

Uranus was the son of Gaea. Gaea gave birth to him on her own. He didn’t have a father. Later, Gaea with Urunas gave birth to many children. Uranus was a very harsh father. He returned all his kids back to their mother’s stomach. This made Gaea very upset. Gaea asked her last son, Kronos to castrate Uranus. Gaea lay with her next son to give birth to more children.

The tale of Kronos

Kronos was Gaea and Uranus’s son. He rebelled against his father and castrated him. He had a rough childhood but he became a terrible father. He ate his children because he thought that they would ovewrthrow him. His wife couldn’t stand it, so instead of giving him her last son, she gave him a rock to eat. He was such a bad father that he didn’t know the difference between a rock and his son.
