Now,one thing that the Hundred Hands monsters did not possess was intelligence,so they easily fell for their fathers deception.
Ouranos covered an area of the Pit with branches and leaves from the laurel tree so that it looked like solid ground.
"Those fools will never realize that they are walking into a trap,"he said rejoicing."Soon I will be rid of my beastly sons and I can reign in safety.The others won't dare to defy me."
And so it was that one day Sky stood between his three sons the Hundred Hands monsters and the cleverly concealed Pit with no bottom.
"Here I have a boar killed in the hunt,my children,"he called out to them as they wrestled and tore up great mounds of earth that later became Mount Olympus,"but I am weary and so you will have to come here to eat it."
Now,being extremely ravenous for raw flesh as monsters always are,the Hundred Hands giants ran laughing towards their father standing in the distance holding up a dead boar.
Whooosh
Suddenly all three were falling into space and screaming in terror at the hopelessness of the void.
Try though they might,there is nothing to grab onto in Tartarus and so climbing back out was out of the question.
There they are to this day,spinning around as they fall,vainly trying to grasp something to anchor themselves,and when you feel the cold hands of nameless anxiety touching your mind it is the Hundred Hands brothers.
