Who led the rebellion of the Olympian gods against Zeus?

Once the arrogance and capriciousness of Zeus became so unbearable that Hera, Poseidon, Apollo and other Olympian gods rebelled against him. The rebellion was led by Hera, the lawful wife of Zeus, whose patience had long since run out because of Zeus's frequent adulteries with goddesses, nymphs, and mortal women.

The rebels surrounded the sleeping Thunderer and "fettered" rawhide belts with hundreds of knots so that he could not move. Zeus threatened them with immediate death, but in response, the gods, who prudently hid his lightning away, only laughed insultingly. When they were already celebrating their victory and zealously discussing who should become the successor of Zeus, Thetis, foreseeing civil strife on Olympus, rushed in search of the hundred-armed Briareus. He, acting with all his hands at once, quickly untied the straps and freed his master.

Since Hera was at the head of the conspiracy, Zeus, using golden bracelets, hung his rebellious wife by the wrists to the sky, and tied anvils to her feet. Although all the gods were deeply outraged by such a cruel act of the Thunderer, none of them dared to come to the aid of Hera, despite her plaintive cries.

Zeus eventually promised to free Hera if all the gods swore an oath not to rebel against him again. With great reluctance, each of the gods made such an oath.

Zeus punished Poseidon and Apollo by sending them as slaves to the Trojan king Laomedon. The rest of the gods were pardoned as acting under duress.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
