Titans

In Greek mythology, the Titans were a powerful race of deities that preceded the Olympian gods. The first generation of Titans were descendants of Gaea and Uranus, who originally gave birth to twelve Titans, six males and six females.

The male Titans were Cronus, Oceanus, Coeus, Hyperion, Crius, and Iapetus. The female Titans were Rhea, Tethys, Theia, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, and Themis.

Despite their immense power, the Titans were eventually overthrown by their children, the Olympian gods, led by Zeus. The Titans fought a ten-year war known as the Titanomachy, which ended with the defeat of the Titans and the imprisonment of most of them in Tartarus, a deep, dark pit beneath the underworld.

The Titans also had a significant impact on various aspects of Greek mythology, including the creation of the world and the birth of the Olympian gods. Some myths suggest that the Titans created the world and its natural elements, while others suggest that the Olympians were born from the union of the Titans and other deities.
