MYTH OF TITANS
The Titans were gigantic, powerful and primeval beings that was in the background of many Greek myths and tales. Childrens of Uranus (sky) and Gaia (earth) the Titans ruled the world before they were overthrown by the god Zeus and his five brothers and sisters.
The Titans were six male: Oceanus, Coeus, Cronus, Crius, Hyperion and Iapetus, and six female Titanesses: Tethys, Themis, Phoebe, Mnemosyne, Theia and Rhea.
Zeus and his siblings, the first of the Olympian gods, were the children of Chronus and Rhea. Their battle to overthrow the Titans and take possession of the universe is the backdrop of Greek mythology. The Olympian gods eventualy won, and Zeus, said to have thrown those who stood against him into Tartarus, a deep pit in the underworld.
