The Gods and Goddesses of Olympus By Aliki

Gaea and Uranus had very many children.  So when they had more children Uranus thought they were ugly,so he killed them. Gaea gave the throne to Cronus,and got married to sister Rhea . He didn’t  want anyone to  steal  the   throne ,so he ate his children except  for one,and she ran with him,so he wouldn’t eat him .  He was raised by a woodland nymphs . Zeus grew up to be the strongest of gods. He got married to Metis. Rhea was  still with her husband. She wanted Zeus to depose him ,but Metis was a   wise woman. She said that Zeus needed for  Cronus to have the Titans on his side.  Instead he threw up his children. They had reunited. They got ready to fight the titans. The fight olds gods and new gods. They had defeated the titans. Gaea was at peace. They divided  the world into three: the heaven god, god of the sea and god of under god                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

I think it was a good  book. It gives you a good story ,and information about some gods and goddesses. I would give this book to research readers  about gods and goddesses.
