A puzzle

[WSUCougar]

This may be a quick one, but we shall see:

Our messenger ran from the heat but fell in love. Our love hit the ground, so we went to war. After the war the king thundered at his father, who then ran rings around his father after that. We’re all wet, see? But we all die in the end.

Who are we?

The Olympians?

[Dutch]

Messenger = Hermes
Love = Aphrodesia (or whatever her name is....can't remember)
Thunder/Lightning = Zeus

Edit: Or Not
Edit: Or Maybe (I'm confused already)

[WSUCougar]

The Olympians?
Nope

Maybe it's just a sequential, outward mention of the planets -- or their deity origins.
