  &quot;When Chronus cast his father&apos;s flesh into the sea...&quot;<br><br>His scrotum. Chronos attack on Oranus was a gelding, and aprodite is literally born from sperm.

  I grew up with the Greek myths as a bedtime stories. I like the version where Typhon is a giant dragon and Zeus chases him down to Sicily, defeats him and crushes him under the Mount Etna. That&apos;s why the mountain spews fire and smoke :)

  I prefer the version were the flesh of the sky that spawned Afrodita was his genitalia. Makes a lot more of sense, and at the same time, makes even weirder.

  With a lot of mythology there will be a ton of different versions. &nbsp;I tried to remain as faithful as I could to the most common threads. &nbsp;That&apos;s usually how EM is going to operate but I totally encourage everyone to check out all the alternate versions of these stories as the deviations sometimes provide amazing insights into how these cultures changed!<br>-JP

  <i>Prometheus was punished by the Gods for giving the gift of knowledge to man. He was cast to the bowels of the Earth and pecked by birds.</i>

  Calling Gaia&apos;s paramour &quot;The Firmament&quot; or &quot;The Sky&quot; seems like an odd choice... but at the same time, I can&apos;t imagine anyone saying &quot;Chronos chopped off Uranus with a sickle&quot; with a straight face.

  I love the element of Young Adults around the camp fire telling a story of Mythology rather than the typical Extra History way of presenting it as you are in the time. Great job again!
