The gods were created by the Titans, Kronos and
Rhea. Kronos is the Father of Time.
The titans were created by Gaia, Mother Earth,
and Uranus, the father of the sea. Gaea turned
out to be evil, and she created the giants to
destroy the gods. Uranus was cut up by Kronos
with his signature weapon, the Scythe, and
threw him into the sea. Aphrodite was born
from Uranus’s sea foam. (In my point of view,
she should be a Titan, not a God, but that is just
how mythology went.)

Yes, the roman gods are very similar to the greek
ones. Actually, they are the same people, but with
different personalities. See, if you met a grouchy
god(dess), like Hera, you would rather meet her
in her Hera mood rather than a Juno mood (her
roman form). The roman gods are more strategic
and fight-y , while roman gods, well, are just the
opposite.
Tatarus is the endless pit of death that the Titans
were thrown into after the first Titan war. Kronos,
was thrown onto the abyss after being chopped
up into a million pieces with his own scythe by
his son Zeus. The worst monsters are there while
they are re-forming (we’ll get to that later), or
while they are waiting to be awoken by the worst
forces imaginable.
There are many monsters in the greek mythological world.
Some, are very famous, like the Minotaur, and others, like the
empousa, are not so famous. Some monsters, like Medusa, have
special powers. Medusa can turn things to stone by looking at
them. Empousa, can turn their hair and other things on their
bodies to flame. Harpies, can fly (they are half human nad half
bird). Some monsters, are good. Like Hippocampi. They live in
the oceans, with their half fish and half hippopotamus friends.
Centaurs, are also good, and so are some Cyclopes. Cyclopes
have a power to withstand any type of fiercely hot flame. They
work at Hephaestus's Forges. A Neman Lion’s coat is like armor;
any weapon thrown at it will bounce off.
Some monsters (unless they are hit in certain
spots), go to Tartarus, only to re-form. It may take
years, weeks, months, or days for a monster to reform. Quite annoying actually.
Greek Mythology is a confusing world of
monsters, gods and demi-gods. I wish these
things were real, but they aren’t (as far as the
human race knows …).
