In mythology Zeus, Poseidon, and his siblings weren’t the first immortals. Or even the second. First came Chaos, then Gaia, then the Titans, who finally gave birth to the Olympian gods that most people know.
King Sisyphus desperately needed fresh water for the people of Corinth. When he was trying to figure out a solution he saw Zeus carrying the river spirit. Soon after he saw the river god, Asopus looking for his daughter, the river spirit. The king said he would only say where she was if he was given freshwater. Asopus made a stream of fresh water and the king told what direction Zeus went off with the river spirit. He knew that Zeus would be furious when he heard this and he was, when he found out he ordered his brother Hades to take king Sisyphus to the underworld. The King whispered to his wife, "When they tell you I am dead, do not put a gold coin under my tongue," and she did what she was told. Hades had to actually meet the king because he was a very important person, at the River Styx. Since no gold coin was placed under his tongue he was not able to go cross the river without money. When Hades asked Sisyphus where his coin was was he replied back saying that his wife was too cheap to pay for the passage. Hades said back in shock to go get the money and he was magically well again on Earth. He told his wife what happened and laughed at what he told her but they didn't speak of it again because you never know when the gods might be listening.
