Zeus - Poseidon - Hades - Hera - Demeter - hestia and Cronos' cool grandpa who's not bad anymore | The 6 children of Cronus and Kronnos

Hestia is a bit strange when compared to the rest of the Greek gods, but her place still makes a lot of sense, even if it's not what people usually assume.
Zeus / Jupiter is the king of Olympus and ruler of the gods, as well as the god of the sky, thunder, lightning, storms, hospitality, and the heavens. The youngest son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, he was the brother of Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera, whom he also married. He was the father of a lineage of all-powerful deities such as Athena, Ares, Hephaestus, Persephone, Zagreus, Aphrodite, Artemis, Apollo, Hermes, and Dionysus, as well as many mortal children such as Hercules, Kratos, Deimos, Perseus, Pollux, Pirithous, Minos, and many others who have inspired various myths.
Powerful like his brothers Zeus and Poseidon, Hades, the god of the underworld, is possibly the most feared deity of the Olympian pantheon. After abducting Persephone, daughter of the goddess of agriculture Demeter, he took her to his dark realm where the young woman eventually accepted her fate and shared her throne with the powerful lord of the underworld.
Demeter is the Greek goddess of the fundamental activity that allowed society to function: agriculture, but for that very reason she was always a goddess removed from palaces and politics in favor of the fields... more or less.
Poseidon is a very good god for understanding the Greek gods. He's the god of the sea, the waters, and also of horses, showing that sometimes the gods have one function and another completely unrelated function. Furthermore, with him you can teach people about the fun and, to a certain extent, complex dynamics of the Olympian family. Only with him can you see how the gods functioned, their iconography, and the roles they typically played.
Hera is the Greek goddess of marriage, family, and marital fidelity, and queen of Olympus as the wife of Zeus. Daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, she was swallowed at birth and later freed by Zeus along with her siblings. She fought in the Titanomachy against the Titans and won, later somewhat reluctantly marrying Zeus.
Yes, when I can add a Cronus who isn't such a bad king despite devouring his children.
I know I'm making a lot of Greek mythology bots, but it's just to finish some things. I'm stuck with writer's block and haven't been able to make much progress. Please be patient with me and love my bots; I make them with love.
UPDATE: Cronos has finally been added! Cronos is more based on Saturn, since his Saturnian personality makes him more fun to play with :D. By the way, Saturn will be more important in my next bot. Here's a little sneak peek.
