Answer 1

In the beginning, there was Chaos, formless darkness, and from within Chaos emerged Gaia, Eros, Erebus and Nyx, (Earth, Love, Darkness and Night.) Gaia's first creation was her mate, Uranos, the Heavens, whom she created to be Her equal and partner. She then adorned herself with hills, rivers and nymphs to watch over them, as well as the Old Man of the Sea, Pontus, without any help from her mate. She was the creatrix.

Eros caused them to desire one another, and Earth and Heaven produced many children together including the Hecatonchires, the Cyclopes and the Titans. The Titans had the power of creation, like their Parents, and Uranos was jealous of it and would not let them emerge from Her womb, though it was Gaia's intention that the power of Creation be passed on. Finally, She gave to Her youngest son Cronus a stone sickle and He snuck up on Uranos as He was bedding down with Gaia and castrated Uranos, who fled, and that is why the Heavens and the Earth are separate now.

The severed organ was cast into the Sea and gave rise to Aphrodite, the spirit of creative desire on Earth. Where the drops of blood fell on Earth sprung Giants, Erineyes (Furies) and Meliae (tree nymphs who later bore mankind). All of the Titans then emerged from Gaia's womb and began creating like mad, filling the Earth with mortal life and taking their rightful places as Gods and Goddesses of their various realms. Hyperion and Thea for example bore Dawn, the Sun and the Moon, etc.

(Nyx and Erebus, by the way, are the parents of Dreams, Sleep, Fate, Doom, Nemesis, Strife, etc.)

Cronus, who as the one who freed them all from their imprisonment was now the King of the Gods,feared that one day He would have a son who would depose Him, so as each of His children were born to His wife Rhea, He swallowed them, as the Trojan Man had yet to be created. Finally, Rhea hid Her son, Zeus, and gave Cronus a stone to swallow. Zeus grew up, hidden by Gaia and Uranos, and rased on honey by the Meliae and when He became an adult, He tricked Cronus into vomiting up all of His brothers and sisters. He also mustered some of the other children of Gaia, the Hecatonchires, for example and some of the Titans to depose Cronus and there was a great war and finally, Zeus & co. won and the other guys were cast into darkness. Zeus became King of the Gods. The end.

Answer 2

I guess, they were like God himself and just always existed. Zeus and Hera that is. All the others were born from them and their children. It`s not like they actually existed. That`s why it`s called MYTH-ologly.
