Greek Mythology 2 (TITANS)
now in this post
im going to talk about the 18 Titans
the Titans were known as the elder Gods. they ruled e earth before the Olympians overthrew them.
the 18 Titans are: Gaea, Uranus, Cronos, Rhea, Oceanus, Tethys, Hyperion, Mnemosyne, Themis, Iapetus, Coeus, Crius, Phoebe, Thea, Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas, Metis
Gaea
Gaea is the Earth goddess. She mated with her son Uranus to produce the remaining Titans. Gaea seems to have started as a neolithic earth-mother worshipped before the Indo-European invasion that eventually lead to the Hellinistic civilization.
Uranus
Uranus is the sky god and first ruler. He is the son of Gaea, who created him without help. He then became the husband of Gaea and together they had many offspring, including twelve of the Titans. His rule ended when when Cronus, encouraged by Gaea, castrated him. He either died from the wound or withdrew from earth.
Cronos
Roman name is Saturn
he was the ruling Titan who came to power by castrating his Father Uranus. His wife was Rhea. There offspring (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades) were the first of the Olympians. To ensure his safety Cronus ate each of the children as they were born. This worked until Rhea, unhappy at the loss of her children, tricked Cronus into swallowing a rock, instead of Zeus. When he grew up Zeus would revolt against Cronus and the other Titans, defeat them, and banish them to Tartarus in the underworld. Cronus managed to escape to Italy, where he ruled as Saturn. The period of his rule was said to be a golden age on earth, honored by the Saturnalia feast.
Rhea
the wife of Kronos (Cronos) and mother to the Olympians.
(Rheia, Rhea)
Cronus made it a practice to swallow their children. To avoid this, Rhea tricked Cronus into swallowing a rock, saving her son Zeus.
Oceanus
Oceanus is the unending stream of water encircling the world. Together with his wife Tethys produced the rivers and the three thousands ocean nymphs
Tethys
Tethys is the wife of Oceanus
Hyperion
Hyperion is the Titan of light, the father of the sun, the moon, and the dawn.
Mnemosyne
Titan of memory and the mother of Muses
Themis
Titan of justice and order. She was the mother of the Fates and the Seasons.
Iapetus
Iapetus was the father of Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Atlas.
Coeus
Titan of Intelligence. Father of Leto.
Crius
A Titan, married Eurbia. Had 3 children: Astraios, Perses, Pallas.
Phoebe
Titan of the Moon. Mother of Leto
Thea
The wife of her brother Hyperion, Theia gave birth to Helios (sun), Eos (dawn), and Selene (moon). She is the goddess from whom light emanates and considered especially beautiful.
Prometheus
he was the wisest Titan. His name means "forethought" and he was able to foretell the future. He was the son of Iapetus. When Zeus revolted against Cronus Prometheus deserted the other Titans and fought on Zeus side. By some accounts he and his brother Epimetheus were delagated by Zeus to create man. In all accounts, Prometheus is known as the protector and benifactor of man. He gave mankind a number of gifts including fire. He also tricked Zeus into allowing man to keep the best part of the animals scarificed to the gods and to give the gods the worst parts. For this Zeus punished Prometheus by having him chained to a rock with an eagle tearing at his liver. He was to be left there for all eternity or until he agreed to disclose to Zeus which of Zeus children would try to replace him. He was eventually rescued by Hercules without giving in to Zeus.
Epimetheus
Epimetheus was a stupid Titan, whose name means "afterthought". He was the son of Iapetus. In some accounts he is delegated, along with his brother Prometheus by Zeus to create mankind. He also accepted the gift of Pandora from Zeus, which lead to the introduction of evil into the world.
Atlas
Atlas was the son of Iapetus. Unlike his brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus, Atlas fought with the other Titans supporting Cronus against Zeus. Due to Cronus's advance age Atlas lead the Titan's in battle. As a result he was singled out by Zeus for a special punishment and made to hold up the world on his back.
Metis
Titaness of the forth day and the planet Mercury. She presided over all wisdom and knowledge. She was seduced by Zeus and became pregnant with Athena. Zeus became concerned over prophecies that her second child would replace Zeus. To avoid this Zeus ate her. It is said that she is the source for Zeus wisdom and that she still advises Zeus from his belly. It may seem odd for Metis to have been pregnant with Athena but, never mentioned as her mother. This is because the classic greeks believed that children were generated soley from the fathers sperm. The women was thought to be nothing more then a vessal for the fetus to grow in. Since Metis was killed well before Athena's birth her role doesn't count.
the Titans were the Elder Gods, who were overthrown by the Olympians. when the Zeus tried to de-throne Cronos, many Titans (except Prometheus and Epimetheus) fought along side Cronos against Zeus. after winning over the throne of his father, Zeus banished the Titans to Tartarus as their punishment. before the Olympians' rule, the Titans were associated with the various planets.

Explanations for my previous post
ok guys
this post here is to explain certain issues concerning my previous post
those who r not involved or r not interested
feel free exit my blog
one of my readers
it seems
have brought up some questions
concerning my previous post
firstly
my reader said tat my post
have lots of grammar mistake
i apologize to all my readers for my bad grammar
my english isnt up to standard nowadays
as i dont really bother to take not of my grammar
while blogging
so those who r "teachers wannabe" pls exit my blog after reading this post
n dun come back again if u r here to spot grammar mistakes
secondly
i apologize if my previous post
had given u the impression tat i think tat
all of u, my readers
r non-animal lovers or tiger-haters
i was jus expressing my anger
targeting at those who
take Earth n her animals
for granted
i DO NOT think tat
all my readers r not animal lovers
however
u have to bare in mind tat
not all of u r animal lovers
not everyone who read my blog
loves animals
so i was jus
like I've said earlier
expressing myself
on my previous post
i was angry n upset
for i really do love the tigers
i may not have done anything
about the declining tiger numbers
but im aware of it
n im trying my best
to do what ever i can to help them
as a student
there is really nothing much i can do about it
im not some official
neither am i in the government
im not rich
my parents r not some famous people
who can help me "pull strings" n save the tigers
to tell u readers the truth,
i did not even go overseas once
not even once
so i noe tat
i am in no position to scold anyone
that they do not help
but im not demanding that u mus help them
im jus creating awareness
tat's the most i can do as a student
i jus wan everyone to noe
what's happening
true enough
i did not do anything for the tigers
but i want everyone to be aware about this
about the tigers being in danger
i am alrdy upset
upset tat i cant do anything at all
so it hurts
u noe
to jus say it in my face
when im alrdy feeling damn terrible about it
lastly, to those who have lost their loves ones to aggressive wild tigers
i apologize on the behalf of the tigers
n beg u
not to hate them
pls pls pls do not hate them
wild tigers seldom attack humans
all tigers will prefer not to attack humans
research has shown
wild tigers attack humans
only when
they r seriously injured, sick or old
several wild tiger attacks
involve wild tigers
who r wounded
e.g a missing canine, serious wounds
or wild tigers who r old
humans r easy prey
so wounded n old tigers took advantage of this
weakness
in actual fact
tigers do not like eating humans
only old, wounded or tigers who r rendered incapable to catch their natural prey
will turn into man-eaters
the only place where humans form
a small part of the tigers diet
is the Sundarbans in india
tigers do not attack humans unless provoked
they do not hunt humans unless
wounded, sick or injured
incapable of hunting their natural prey
if my close friend or my love ones gets attacked by a tiger
be it wild or captive
i will grieve
i will be sad
but i will nvr hate the tigers
or hate the tiger who did it
after all, there must be a reason
why the tiger attack
there r reasons behind every animal attack
be it tiger, crocodiles or orca
it only whether
u wan to noe the reasons behind the attacks
or u wan to jus assume that e animal attack for nothing
Remember, no animal attacks for no reason.
if u have anymore questions concerning this post or the previous post,
feel free to ask
but pls have an open mind
before asking ur questions
THANK YOU

the only place where humans form
a small part of the tigers diet
is the Sundarbans in india
tigers do not attack humans unless provoked
they do not hunt humans unless
wounded, sick or injured
incapable of hunting their natural prey
if my close friend or my love ones gets attacked by a tiger
be it wild or captive
i will grieve
i will be sad
but i will nvr hate the tigers
or hate the tiger who did it
after all, there must be a reason
why the tiger attack
there r reasons behind every animal attack
be it tiger, crocodiles or orca
it only whether
u wan to noe the reasons behind the attacks
or u wan to jus assume that e animal attack for nothing
Remember, no animal attacks for no reason.
if u have anymore questions concerning this post or the previous post,
feel free to ask
but pls have an open mind
before asking ur questions
THANK YOU

Disappearing Roar
hi guys
my exams r over
but cant say tat i'll blog more
this time,
i would like to discuss with you about
Tigers
yes
for those who know me well
u should know that i love tigers
so i have been checking up on
what was happening to them recently
n i happen to chance upon this
newspaper article about them
before tat,
let me ask u guys some questions:
What r tigers to u?
r they nothing but animals?
r they jus something which r meant for us to kill?
or, u jus dont bother?
oh tigers r found all around the world!
Singapore only have 3, we dont interact much with them
we dont even have any encounters with tigers!
SO WHY BOTHER?!
oh look a good tiger is one whose fur is being made into a coat or a handbag.
Is that it?
is that what u people have been thinking?!
can all of u humans please, and i said please please
stop thinking about yourself
please wake up
open your eyes
n see what's happening to the tigers
what's happening to the other endangered species
what's happening to Earth
n then, ask yourself what have you been doing?
i chance upon this article during my exam period
(which means one week ago)
i was studying when my sis took e article n showed it to me
i read it
the first words which i saw was "call of the tiger no longer heard"
as i read on,
i my mind went blank,
i was shocked
afraid, not for me, but for the tigers
i felt really hopeless then
really really hopeless
it was a terrible feeling
this was what i read:
"the call of the tiger is no longer heard in the apparently pristine forests of Khao Yai National park"
"india has roughly one-third of the remaining wild tigers. but in recent years tigers have completely disappeared from two tiger reserves in india."
"estimates put the number of tigers in the wild across the 13 countries at 3,000-3,600. down from 5,000-7,000 in the last Year of the Tiger"
"many tigers r in small populations in remnant patches of habitat, constantly under threat and short of prey. poaches not only kill the tigers, but also their prey as well."
"small populations are genetically vulnerable."
"this Year of the Tiger, the fate of the wild tiger hangs by a thread."
people have been trying to help the wild tigers
but their numbers just kept declining
not slowly, but rapidly.
some had foresee that by the next Year of the Tiger
some subspecies of the tigers will be extinct
extinct! do u think that extinction is not a big deal?
extinction is jus losing the whole species of animals?
wake up!
extinction is a very serious business!
not jus one animal had died
but the whole species!
once the whole species becomes extinct,
they will not come back
they will not be seen ever again
they will be gone forever...
Forever. no turning back. no amount of help given is able to save them
i dont want the tigers to be extinct
but reality is staring right back at me
if we dont do anything
if the government dont do anything
if the officials dont do anything
the is a high possibility that the tiger WILL become extinct
by then
we cant do anything
anymore
we cant save them
it will be too late
by then....
i was upset, angry and very afraid
afraid that the tigers will be extinct
afraid that no one is helping them
afraid that i wont be able to see my favorite animal again.
9 subspecies of tigers 3 of which r extinct
1)Bengal tiger
2)indochinese tiger
3)malayan tiger
4)sumatran tiger
5)siberian tiger
6) south china tiger
7)bali tiger (extinct)
8)javan tiger (extinct)
9)caspian tiger (extinct)
for the remaining 6 subspecies
3,000-3,600 of them still lived in 13 different countries
in the wild
it's a very very small number for 6 species of tigers
amur (siberian) tigers r thought to have only less than 400 of them in the wild
the rest, lesser though the bengal tiger have the most number.
i am talking about wild tigers here
there r many tigers in zoos or in captivity
but the number of wild tigers r declining
rapidly
But wild tigers n captive tigers still the same wad....
some of u may think this way
they r different
wild tigers
they have a very strong spirit
they belong to no one
they r confident, proud and majestic creatures
who will obey no one
who will not be broken like horses
who will not be tamed like dogs
they belong to the wild
it's rare nowadays to see
a creature like a wild tiger
they only rely on themselves
independent
proud
beautiful
majestic
strong
confident
they r my favorite animal
n i dont want them to become extinct
ask yourself
do you know about all this?
do you know how serious this is?
do you know that this is happening to many other endangered animals out there?
do you want to help them?
do you even care?

Neighborhood Strays
hey guys
sorry for not updating
been busy lately
sem exams coming up
so might not be blogging for awhile till exams r over
cats r fantastic creatures
they welcome the relationships with humans
but at the same time, they can still survive without humans
this is especially seen in neighborhood strays
i bet if i throw Cody out of the house (i wun do it btw)
he cant even survive outside for a night
cos he had been relying on my family for 3 years!!!
everyday when i walk home, i'll see cats lounging around
at the carpark or at the void deck
they seem to have a normal routine
they r at a certain place at a certain time
they seem at ease with their surroundings
n i bet that they know their way around this neighborhood
better than me
sometimes,
late at night
while studying
i could hear cats yowling
down at the void decks
n i could even here them fight
hissing n screaming
but the strays of my neighborhood r very friendly
they don't mind humans touching or petting them
once they get to know you
they r very friendly cats
n adorable too
this few days
i've been trying to get close to some of the strays in my neighborhood
some of them approached me with friendliness
while others jus bolted the moment they saw me coming
i know fully well that some of these cats r sick
n have some other problems
so every time after touching them
i did wash my hands thoroughly when i get home
these r the pics that i took of the strays at my neighborhood
i hope that you will learn to appreciate the strays at your own neighborhood as well :)
this poor tom has a broken left front paw. he moves about by crawling on his belly. i really hope someone can help him. when i approached him, he crawled under this red car and i could not get him to come out. then, i did not see him anymore
found him lounging at the void deck benches at about 7pm plus. he's a friendly cat once you get to know him.
saw this guy stretching on a concrete floor. once i saw him sharpening his claws using a wheel of a motorcycle. he may look fierce but im sure he's a nice guy. did not get to know him more.
saw this pretty cat when going home with my mum n sis. jus took this pic. after that, din see him/her anymore
this pretty queen (female cat) is a very friendly girl. she instantly snuggles up to me when i approached her. she's pregnant with kittens. she has a few open wounds on her face as she may have been fighting with other cats. she tried to bite me once when i approached her, but it was jus her way of saying hi. (jus nibbled to be exact)
this tom (male cat) have been living around here for quite sometime. he looks well fed so maybe someone has been feeding him. he likes walking at the back of the blocks away from human contact but he instantly warms up to me when i approached him slowly. he's a very friendly cat
same cat as before. loves walking at the back of the blocks
first found this tom sleeping at the roof of a car. then days later, he was sleeping on a grass patch. he seemed to be sleeping every time i see him.

From My Point Of VIEW
life is tragic
everyone is actually alone in this world
there r many kinds of ppl out there
but all of them r alone
there r such things as friends
but they dun last very long
except for those ppl who realy understand each other well
humans r humans
they crave for companionship every time
they must have someone with them
even if it's their enemy
leaving someone alone in a empty room for years
tat person will go mad
makes me curious wat made humans this way
having enemies
is fun
makes ur life more interesting
u'll feel anger, sadness and fustration
it beats feeling nothing anyways
nowadays, my life hav been boring
every since i left secondary sch
i hav no more enemies to fight with
no one to pick on me
giving me a reason to fight back
i find studying is much more interesting nowadays
i dun wana look like those ppl on the train
they look...dead
lifeless even though they r supposed to be alive
yes
they r breathing n moving
able to reproduce
but....
so lifeless
kinda like bacterial
jus doin wat they r supposed to do
having no fun at all
expressionless
been through ups and downs
conflicts
got hurt by friendship
nvr learn my lesson
seeing ppl sticking to ppl
seeing ppl following ppl
seeing snatching of friends
seeing breaking friendship
seeing crumbling future
TO THE HECK WITH ALL!
i had enough of this
trying to get to all my friends then leaving me out
get a friend elsewhere pls
dun keep sticking to MY friends
I DUN GIVE A DAMN ANYMORE
im through with humans (hopefully)
as most of them r hopeless...
LIFE SUCKS
AS THERE R MANY SUCKY PPL AROUND
