Plot[]

Ji-woo and Ji-yeon enter the studio of their father, who works as a painter, and become curious as they discover a book of Greek Roman mythology on a desk. Ji-woo and Ji-yeon hear the story of Greek Roman mythology from their father, and the animation starts with the stories of the Olympus gods.

Cronus fears that his sons will be deprived of their status, and swallows them as soon as they are born. However, Cronus' wife, Rhea, did not want her youngest son, Zeus, to be stolen by her cruel husband, Cronus, so he secretly swallows stones and Zeus the baby escapes to a safe place for the maid.

As time goes on, Zeus becomes an adult and hears the story of his birth from the tree spirit, Dryad. This led Zeus to find a herb that induces vomiting to save his brothers and sisters that Cronus swallowed, and goes to the dark-covered Temple of Olympus.

Zeus, who went to the Temple of Olympus, turned to his mother, Rhea, for help. Rhea feeds Cronus with herbs that induce vomiting. With Rhea's help, Zeus's brothers and sisters, who escaped from Cronus' body, defeated Cronus and rescued the Temple of Olympus.
