Questions about Titanomachy
Short answers, pulled from the story.
When did the war between Zeus and Cronus begin and how long did it last?
The stage was set for a ten-year war across ancient Thessaly after Zeus freed the Cyclopes and Hecatonchires. Hesiod describes how ten full years passed during the struggle without close or end for either side.
Where did Aphrodite rise from the sea foam after Uranus's organs landed there?
These organs flew across the Mediterranean Sea before landing in Cyprus where Aphrodite later rose from the sea foam. The blood spilled upon the earth gave rise to Gigantes, Erinyes, and Meliae.
Which poem provides the only complete account of Titanomachy events today?
The dominant narrative tradition survives only in Hesiod's Theogony which remains the only complete account of Titanomachy events. Other traditions existed but exist only as fragments today including Orphic narratives that show differences from the Hesiodic tradition.
What punishment did Atlas receive after the Titans were defeated in Titanomachy?
