A professor in Europe licensed this image to use in his class under a section that matched the image title: Vicious Circle. This may be my only shot that makes me a tad uncomfortable. #sword #gods #greekmythology https://fineartamerica.com/featured/vicious-circle-dario-infini.html

Uranus was Father Sky, the Ancient Greek personification of the heavens and, for a while, the ruler of the known universe. Fatherless, he was conceived by Gaea alone, with whom he formed the primordial couple, thus becoming an ancestor of almost all Greek gods. However, he was a cruel husband, and he didn’t allow any of his children to leave the womb of their mother, which eventually led to a rebellion and his demise at the hands of his son, Cronus.

Hercules Birth Disguised as her husband Amphitryon, Zeus slept with Alcmene on the same night that Amphitryon himself did. Nine months later, Alcmene gave birth to twin sons: Iphicles to her husband and Heracles to Zeus. Angry at Zeus’ infidelity – and not knowing which of Alcmene's boys was Zeus’ – Hera secretly put two snakes in the twins’ cradle; Iphicles started crying at the very sight, but Heracles strangled them in an instant. Now, it was suddenly obvious who was the god and who the mortal of the two. #history Source: https://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Heroes/Heracles/heracles.html

Prometheus was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene. Even though a Titan himself, together with his brother Epimetheus, he sided with Zeus during the Titanomachy. However, after helping Zeus to achieve victory in the war, he started a quarrel with him over his supposed unfair treatment of humanity. This led to Prometheus stealing the fire from the gods and gifting it to humanity, which resulted in Zeus chaining Prometheus and sending an eagle to prey upon his continually regenerating liver. After some time, Zeus’ son Heracles shot the eagle and freed Prometheus, and the Titan subsequently made peace with his savior’s father.
