Who is Greek God Otus?
Otus was a giant son of Poseidon. He and his brother Ephialtes tried to overthrow Olympus. One night they slept with their ears to the ground. Mother Earth, Gaea, whispered to them that such strong and tall youths should not let the gods rule them. She hoped they would be able to overthrow Zeus and his family because she was mad at him for keeping her sons, the Titans, in Tartarus. In the mourning, the two brothers pulled up mountains and stacked them on top of each other until they made a new mountain has high as Mount Olympus. From the top they called to Zeus to surrender his powers to them and move out of his palace with the other Olympians. Otus demanded that Artemis stay and become his bride while Ephialtes demanded that Hera become his bride. The two goddesses tossed their heads with scorn. Zeus in a fury hurled thunderbolts at the two brothers. They glanced off harmlessly, for an oracle had predicted that neither gods nor mortals could kill them. When Ares, the god of war, rushed out to battle the brothers, they grabbed him and crammed him in a jar. The gods were really worried, for it seemed like there was no way to kill the Otus and Ephialtes. But Apollo came up with a plan. He figured if no one could kill them that they had to be tricked into killing each other. He persuaded his twin sister Artemis to pretend she was in love with Otus. She agreed. Apollo told the giant that Artemis thought very much of him and accepted his proposal and would meet him at the island of Naxos. That made Ephialtes jealous, but he swallowed his pride and went with his brother to meet Artemis. When Artemis saw them coming, she changed herself into a white deer and ran across their path. She darted to and fro between them. The brothers, who were eager huntsman, threw their javelins at the deer. Artemis cleverly dodged them and the brothers fell to the ground, pieced by the other's javelins. The gods tied them back to back with snakes and threw them in Tartarus. Then they pulled Ares out of the jar where he had been howling the whole time.
