Eventually the Olympians win and the 3 brothers divide the realms Hades is the oldest male heir and claims the birth right of the oldest male to rule the heavens but Zeus argues against it saying that he is the one that freed the others and they all agree to "draw lots" kinda like the shortest straw loses.... Well we all know who lost. Zeus was given the Heavens, Poseidon the Seas, and Hades against his birth right was given the dreaded Underworld.
Yet again the Cyclopes and the Hecatonchires (Hundred-handed Giants) were imprisoned in Tartarus... even though they helped the Olympians. As for the Titans that fought against the Olympians... were punished. Some were sent to Tartarus and others who were particularly against the Olympians were selected for special punishments.
Ex. Atlas was forced to hold up the Earth for all eternity.
