Con le mani riusciva ad acchiappare le stelle e con le gambe riusciva ad attraversare il mare Egeo in 4 passi dalla penisola Eubea fino alle spiagge di Troia.Un aspetto che portò gli dei a temerlo, e li costrinse a porre rimedio alla situazione.2024-04-1604 minMitologia scorrevoleGigantomachiaLa Gigantomachia è la guerra tra i Giganti.Per raggiungere la vetta dell'Olimpo i Giganti dovettero mettere tre monti uno sopra l'altro, ma furono sconfitti, poiché i dodici dei dell'Olimpo ricorsero ad un'arma segreta: l'aiuto di Eracle.2024-04-0906 minMitologia scorrevoleTeogoniaLa Teogonia è la generazione e genealogia degli dei, mito o insieme di miti che illustrano la nascita o la discendenza degli dei.Nella mitologia greca, è la creazione del mondo. Dal caos come prima cosa nacque la terra che personificatasi divenne Gea la madre di ogni cosa. Tra gli altri figli del Caos c’erano anche Tartaro ed Erebo. Il Tartaro secondo era il luogo più profondo della Terra sbarrato da degli enormi cancelli di ferro, tanto lontano dall’Ade quanto la Terra è lontana dal cielo. Nel Tartaro erano esiliati peccatori leggendari o divinità cacciate.2024-04-0807 min
