The Greed made up stories about how.The world began, and how gods,giants and people came be.
At first ,they said, the world was all mixed up. Earth fire and water were all mixed together.Then heaven and earth came to be.Heaven was a god,and earth was a goddess their children were giants.One of them,Cronus,was the ruler of time.
Cronus learned from his father that one of his own sons would take away his power. This made cronus angry and afraid,so he swallowed all of his children except one .That one was little Zeus.Zeus was saved by his mother, who gave Cronus a stone dressed as a baby to swallow.She hid Zeus in a cave.
When Zeus grew up he heard of what Cronus had done.He tricked Cronus into drinking strong liquor ,which made him cough the children up ,along with the stone dressed like Zeus!
The children of Cronus were angry ,and their father was angry too.This led to a war .Cronus and most of the giants were on one side, with Zeus and most of the giants were on one side,with Zeus and his brothers and sisters and few giants on the other.
Zeus and his group were on top of mount Olympus .The giants stood on a nearby peak.The fighting was fierce and noisy . Boulders,trees and lingtning bolts flew back and forth.
After ten years the biants were beaten.one giant ,named Atlas,was forced to hold up the sky .Cronus ran away. Zeus and his brothers and sisters became gods and goddesses, and controlled the world.

《巨人与神之战》
希腊人编造了很多故事,这些故事是有关世界是怎样形成的,神、巨人和人类怎样出现的。
他们说起初整个世界都是混沌的。土地、火和水都混和在一起。然后有了天和地。天是一位男神,地是一位女神。他们的孩子就是巨人。其中一个叫克洛诺斯的,他是当时统治者。
克洛诺斯从他父亲那知他的一个儿子将会夺走他的权力。这使克洛诺斯又惊又怕,所以他吞下了他所有的孩子,但有一个除外。那一个孩子就是小宙斯。宙斯的妈妈用一个装扮成婴儿样子的石头代替他被吞掉了。她把宙斯藏在一个洞中。
当宙斯长大听说了克洛诺斯所做的事情后,他骗克洛诺斯喝下了烈酒,这使得克洛诺斯把所有的孩子连同那个做成宙斯模样的石头一起咳了出来。
克洛诺斯的孩子们很生气,克洛诺斯也很生气。这导致了一场战争。克洛诺斯和大部分的巨人站在一边,宙斯和他的兄弟姐妹及少数巨人站在另一边。
宙斯和他的一队人马在奥林匹斯山顶上。巨人们站在附近的山峰上。战争激烈面喧嚣。巨石、树木和闪电飞来飞去。
十年后巨人们被打败了。其中一个叫阿特拉斯的人被迫擎着天。克洛诺斯跑掉了。宙斯和他的兄弟姐妹变成了神灵,统治着世界。
