Titanomachia

The Titanomachia was a 10-year war in Greek mythology between the elder generation of gods, the Titans, and the younger generation, led by Zeus. The Titans were the children of Uranus (Heaven) and Gaea (Earth), and included figures like Cronus and Rhea. At the instigation of Gaea, the Titans rebelled against Uranus. Later, Zeus rebelled against his father, Cronus, leading to the Titanomachy. Most Titans sided with Cronus, but Zeus and his siblings ultimately triumphed, imprisoning the Titans in Tartarus. This war established Zeus and his siblings as the rulers of the cosmos, with Zeus becoming the god of the sky.12
