8-solar+system+myth

The universe was created by gods. A god named Tellus was the mastermind of the Solar System with a body measuring 6 foot 2 inches. Tellus works hard and rarely shows any emotions. His easy going style and magical power allows him to create large masses instantly. He single handily created the planets and the solar system. Tellus was the child of Poseidon and Hestia. One day Tellus was bored and over heard his parents talking to Zeus and to Helen. Zeus is the king of all the gods and the sky. Helen is his wife and she is the queen of the gods. They were talking about creating life. The only problem was that gods are only spiritual beings. With a flash, Tellus had a great idea to create a solar system. His idea included a detailed plan. He started by creating models. Some models worked and others did not. His idea was universal. He had tunnels going through the planet and water flowing against gravity. This became his first planet. He created life forms that took on many shapes and sizes but only lasted a few hours. This entire process of creation took a lot of time and concentration to complete. When his first planet did pass the test for the life forms, he pulverized it. Tellus had a grand plan that included many steps. He first started with a small planet and placed it close to the sun. The planet was named Mercury. Mercury was so hot that it killed all forms of life. Since Tellus did not like Hermes, he decided to give Mercury to him. He told Hermes to guard it and if anyone came, alert him. The planet was inhabitable. Aphrodite loves the color red. She is the goddess of love. Tellus created a second planet out of red material. Tellus knew Aphrodite would take good care of it and he gave her Venus, the name of his new planet, for her birthday. He then created a planet with water, grass, atmosphere, and dirt. He spent a week on this planet and fell in love with it. He named it Earth. After Earth he was still determined to make bigger and better planets. Once everyone gazed upon Earth the gods were astounded at his work. Tellus listened to the gods and goddess and created planets based on their feedback. Ares suggested the idea of a planet to test his latest weapons. He is the god of war. Tellus created a planet similar to Earth. The only difference is he used different material so Ares’s weapons wouldn’t completely obliterate it. He later named it Mars and gave it to Ares. Tellus wanted to separate the first four planets and the sun from the other planets he is going to create. He took the bits and pieces from the first planet he pulverized and made an asteroid belt. This isolates the humans and hampers the idea of traveling past the belt. Tellus created another planet based on Zeus’s suggestion on size. This planet was named Jupiter. Zeus wouldn’t accept Jupiter unless it can withstand one of his master lightning bolts. He pulled out his mighty weapon, aimed it at the planet and shot it. 30 seconds later all the gods heard a huge thump and when they gazed at the planet the only damage was a giant red dot. The master lightning bolt didn’t penetrate Jupiter but made a mark. Tellus created the next planet with rings. The planet was made with a pleatha of material. He named it Saturn and gave it to Cronos. Cronos is the god of agriculture and later added more rings. Tellus created a planet to represent the lord of the sky. Since Zeus already has a planet, he named it Uranus. Uranus was the lord of the sky until he was overthrown by Cronos. This planet is unguarded but, Uranus is inhabitable like Mercury. Tellus wanted to create a planet based on water. So he created Neptune, the water planet. Poseidon is the god of water and earthquakes and received Neptune. Poseidon keeps all his newly created water animals on that planet and he guards it with his trident. Tellus rushed to form the last planet and used simple, dark colored material. He named this planet Pluto and gave it to Hades. Hades used Pluto to isolate special souls. This planet is where Hades send souls to their doom. When all the planets where formed and his plans were completed he went back to Mt. Olympus and celebrated his success with his parents. At the end of the party his parents told Tellus about the great idea of creating life. Without hesitation Tellus immediately asked if they can live on Earth. When they discussed it with the other gods they all agreed that they would live on Earth. Zeus suggested that they should move Mt. Olympus to one of the mountains on Earth also. This way they can watch over the life forms. Tellus later created stars and galaxies. Zeus worked on models for the new life on Earth. He couldn’t decide what the best model was so he placed a lot of different models all around the planet. Later during the year he found out that some of the new life forms died and some of them reproduced and created more and new life. The strongest in nature survived.
