Tales of the Greek Titans

The Titans were the powerful beings that ruled the cosmos before the gods of Mount Olympus came to power. Led by Cronus, the Titans were overthrown in a battle known as the Titanomachy, marking the rise of the Olympian gods. This mythological war symbolized the transition from chaos to order and was pivotal in shaping Greek mythology.

Some of the most famous Titans include Oceanus, the god of the ocean, Rhea, the mother of the gods, and Prometheus, who defied Zeus to bring fire to mankind. The Titans’ stories are full of betrayal, rebellion, and punishment, and they remain central to understanding Greek mythological themes of power, family, and fate.
