Yeah, everyone knows Pluto is a planet!
No, not since it got sucked in by Uranus
Wasn't Chronos (Saturn) the one who ate Hades (Pluto)?
I think the dad of the gods ate all of his kids, and was it zeus that tricked him or what, fooled him into eating a rock that he thought was the kid that somehow broke everyone out of poppa's belly.
It's really kind of a dumb story, but I'm sure much has been lost in the retelling over thousands of years, and rival religions trying to make it sound dumber even.
If I remember correctly, Ouranos fathered Chronos. Chronos killed Ouranos to take his place as king of the gods. Afraid his kids would do the same to him, Chronos ate them (these included Poseidon and Hades). Then Zeus fed him the rock and made him vomit out all his siblings.
So all together, that accounts for Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto.
