The Titanomachy

Ten years of war between deathless armies, and the balance never tips — until Gaia reveals the key: the Hundred-Handers, still buried where Uranus threw them. Zeus brings the giants up into the light, feeds them nectar and ambrosia, and asks for their strength. The final battle nearly unmakes the world — Zeus hurls lightning until land and sea seethe, and the Hundred-Handers loose three hundred rocks in a single storm — and the Titans are buried, chained, and marched down into the dark. The father who feared his son's rebellion falls exactly as his own father's curse foretold.
