Cronos
overthrew his father Uranus. Zeus overthrew his father Cronos.
Why do you
suppose that sons overthrowing their fathers is such a major theme in mythology?
And why do you suppose that fathers are so afraid of giving up power to
their sons?
In what
other stories, plays, or films have you seen this theme? You won't have to think too hard because it is more common than you think!
Use your example and compare it to the
stories of Uranus, Cronos, and Zeus for this journal prompt. Try to use your genre
sheet to come up with an original and fresh writing approach!
