As for the palace at Mount Othrys, It was buried beneath hundreds of boulders thrown by the Hekatonkheires. Iapetos, Koios, Krios and Hyperion were imprisoned in Tartarus, Kronos’s gentiles was sliced off before being thrown into Tartarus, Atlas was cursed to hold up the sky/heavens, Menoitios was struck down by a Thunderbolt from Zeus and thrown into Erebos. A ten-year war erupted between the Olympians and the Titans and their allies and the Olympians and theirs’. Zeus then-killed Kampe (the dragon lady who had been acting as the jailer for the Elder Cyclopes and the Hekatonkheires) Zeus freed-the Elder Cyclopes and the Hekatonkheires recruiting them for battle. The Elder Cyclopes and the Hekatonkheires helped build the palace on Mount Olympus and built weapons for the Olympians. The three forged The Helm of Darkness for Hades, A Trident for Poseidon and the Lightning Bolt for Zeus. Not long after Zeus allied himself with his siblings, the three went to Tartarus where they convinced the Elder Cyclopes to make them weapons. After gaining Kronos’ trust he eventually served him a mixture of mustard and wine which made Kronos ill and caused him to vomit up the five children he had eaten. When Zeus came of age… he entered the service of his father becoming his father’s cupbearer. Meanwhile, Rhea gave a boulder wrapped in blankets to Kronos who ate that instead. The Kouretes & Daktyloi were three, five, or nine rustic Daimones (Spirits) appointed by Rhea to guard the infant god Zeus In order to keep him safely hidden from his cannibalistic father, the Titan (Stretching-God) Kronos, they drowned out his cries with a frenzied dance of clashing spear and shield. His other full siblings had been eaten by Kronos as soon as they were born (Kronos had been hoping to avoid one of them overthrowing him) Rhea however gave birth to Zeus in a cave on Mount Ida in Crete where she hid him. Zeus was the third son and sixth child of Kronos & Rhea.
