====The Titans revenge====
However, Zeus, like many other rulers, had made many enemies. In particular, he offended his wife, the fiery, and unforgiven unforgiving Hera. The King of Olympus was a philanderer, and he had many affairs and children with his mistresses. Naturally, this enraged Hera, who was not a pleasant character in Greek mythology.<ref>Hansen, Randall, and William F. Hansen. Handbook of classical mythology (London, Abc-clio, 2004), p. 167</ref> She was greatly angered when Zeus made one of his illegitimate children, the ruler of Egypt. Hera was enraged, and, in her fury, she made a pact with the defeated Titans. She plotted with them to drive Zeus out of Olympus and to restore Cronus as ruler of the divine. The Titans, once again under the leadership of Atlas, decided to assassinate the rule of Olympus as he was out hunting.
However, Zeus, who was known for his prophetic capabilities, saw that he was the danger and retreated to Olympus. The Titans were emboldened by the support of Hera and they decided to attack Zeus and his family on Olympus. The Olympians were once again badly outnumbered and rallied to their fortress, Olympus.
