The Olympians
Among the skies
The Olympians Rise
Starts off with Uranus,
He was cruel and vicious
Father of the Titans he was
Then sent his kids to Tartarus
Kronos, son of Uranus
Overthrew his father
Soon to make his sons and daughters
Zeus, God of the Sky
Married Hera, Goddess of Women and Marriage
Then there was Poseidon, God of the Sea
He Married Amphitrite, the nereid, you see,
Can’t forget Hades, Ruler of the Underworld,
Never mentioned, not even a word
Married Persephone, daughter of Demeter
Demeter is next, who made farms greener
She’s the Goddess of fertility
And her symbol is wheat, thanks to her ability
There’s also Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home
She had no children unlike her family
After fear of weakness,
Cronus devours his sons and daughters
Swallowed or slaughtered
Rhea pulled a trick
To let Zeus live
He forced Kronos to regurgitate
And then fall to his fate
Zeus trapped him in Tartarus
To suffer and fuss
Zeus began to have children
To join the Olympians
There was Ares,
The God Of War
Unlucky Hephaestus,
The Smith God who was rejected
There was Hermes the messenger,
And Artemis, the Archer
Wise Athena, came right from the forehead,
And there’s Aphrodite, Goddess of Love
Also Apollo, God of Music and art, he was
Lastly, Dionysus, God of Wine
He could transform, which is just fine
These are the Greek Olympians
Who sometimes strife
But control life
