Before Zeus ruled Olympus, Earth put a weapon into the hand of her youngest son. Earth Against Heaven follows Gaia’s revolt against Uranus through an original English literary retelling of the first great conflict in the Greek divine family.Children are kept from the light. A mother makes a sickle. Cronus accepts the task the others fear, only to discover that breaking a father’s power cannot decide what kind of ruler will follow. The expanded narrative gives Gaia, Rhea, Mnemosyne, and Cronus distinct perspectives on confinement, courage, and the aftermath of violence. The blood-born powers and Aphrodite’s emergence from the sea carry the consequences beyond the intentions of those who acted. Original scenes and dialogue are explicitly distinguished from the ancient sources.Separate reflections, variant accounts, English pronunciation choices, and primary-source references accompany the story. Written for reading and listening, this volume includes non-graphic divine bodily violence and is intended for adult and mature teen readers. It ends before Cronus’s conflict with his own children.Volume 2 of The Living Greek Myths. By Deivede Eder Ferreira. Published by ABRAFP International Press.
