1*TITAN*

The Titans (greek: ⁇ ) in Greek mythology were the rulers of the earth before the Olympian gods. Their leader was named Kronos who would later be overthrown by Zeus. The 12 Titans were the sons of Uranus the sky god and Gaia the earth goddess.

The Titans had a great war with the Olympian gods called Titanomakhia.The majority of Titans would be involved with this war. In this war the Titans suffered defeat and who at the time of the war fought alongside Kronos was banished to Tartarus.

The first generation Titan consisted of six men (Okeanos, Hyperion, Koios, Kronos, Krios and Iapetos) and six women (Mnemosine, Tethis, Theia, Foibe, Rhea and Themis. The second generation Titan consisted of the first generation Titan children, the Hyperionic children (Eos, Helios, and Selene); the Koios children (Leto and Asteria); the Iapetus children (Atlas, and Selene), Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoitios); and the sons of Crius (Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses).

In a myth told by Callimachus and Nonnus, Zeus intended to make Zagreus (Dionysus) his successor. But Hera was angry that Zagreus was born from the affair of Zeus. Hera sent the Titans to kill him. The Titans painted their faces with gypsum to make Zagreus interested in them. Then the Titans tore apart and ate Zagreus' body. Zeus was angry and killed the Titans. While the heart of Zagreus was saved by Athena to be later remade into Zagreus.

As the first protogenoi to appear in the universe after Khaos, Gaia was known as the "Mother of All"; through her association with Uranus, Gaia gave birth to the Titans, Cyclops, and Hekatonchires; through her association with Pontus, Gaia gave birth to the Titans, she gave birth to the sea gods. In Roman mythology, Gaia was known as Terra Mater/Tellus.

"**in mythology"

In Theogonia, Hesiod mentions that Gaia was a protogenoi, namely the Greek gods who first appeared in the world, second, after Chaos and followed by Tartarus (deep hole), Eros (love), Eros, Erebos (darkness), and Niks (night). As an embodiment of the earth, Gaia became the foundation for the paradise that would later become Olympus.[1] Later, through parthenogenesis, Gaia gave birth to Uranus (palate) which covered it "on all sides".[2] She also gave birth to Pontus (sea) and the Urea (hill) in the same way.[3] Subsequently, Gaia had intercourse with Uranus and gave birth to Cyclopes: Arges, Brontes, and Sterodes,[4] the Hekatonchires: Briarios, Cottos, and Gies,[5] as well as the Titans: Oceanus, Koios, and others, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Theia, Rea, Themis, Mnemosine, Phoebe, Thetis, and Kronos.[6]

Uranus disliked Cyclops and Hekatonchires for their ugly forms, so he hid them in Tartarus. Since Tartaros was Gaia's intestine, this caused her profound pain. Thus Gaia formed a crescent of gray flint (Adamantin) and ordered the Titans to avenge Uranus and free her children from Tartarus. Only Kronos, the youngest Titan who is deeply disliked by his father's passionate nature, dares to perform the task. When Uranus was having sex with Gaia, Cronus cut off Uranus' genitals with the adamantine scythe. From the droplets of blood Uranus dripped onto the earth were born the Erinyes, the Gigants, and the Meliai, while from the testes of Uranus that sank in the sea was born Aphrodite.[7] However, Kronos did not keep his promise to Gaia to free the Cyclops and Hekatonchires, he and the other Titans instead seized world power and established Kampe as a guard at Tartarus. This made Gaia dissatisfied. He and Uranus predicted to Cronus that the sons of Cronus would seize power as he had taken power from Uranus. Because of this prophecy, Kronos ate all five children of his marriage to Rea. Rea, who was pregnant with her sixth child, Zeus, asked Gaia and Uranus for help. Gaia took her granddaughter and took care of her to adulthood, while Rea gave her a stone in place of Zeus.[8] With Gaia's advice,[9] Zeus forced his father to vomit his brothers: Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. He then freed the Cyclops and Hekatonchires who helped him seize power from the Titans.

After winning, Zeus locked the Titans in Tartarus with Hekatonchires as their guard. Again Gaia was not satisfied, this time because of Zeus' treatment of her son. Gaia challenges Olympus again;[10] she has an affair with Tartarus and gives birth to Typhon, a monster who attacks Olympus and nearly wins against Zeus, however, Zeus eventually managed to fight Typhon and banish him to Tartarus. Still unsatisfied, Gaia gave her final challenge to Olympus; this time she ordered the Gigants, led by Alkyoneus, to fight against the Olympian gods in a war called Gigantomachia. With the help of Heracles, a child hero of Zeus and a mortal, as well as various other minor gods such as the Moirai and Hekate, they managed to kill the entire Gigant and win the Gigantomachia. After all these events, Gaia made a pact that she would not interfere with Olympus' affairs again**.

3OURAN*

Uranus (greek: ⁇ ) in Greek mythology is the god of the sky and is the son and husband of Gaia (earth), Gaia and Uranus have 6 Titan sons namely Oceanus, Koios, Hyperion, Krios, and the Titans, Iapetus, Cronus, and 6 Titan princesses Theia, Rea, Mnemosine, Foibe, Tethis, Themis, 3 Cyclops (one-eyed giants) are Brontes, Steropes, and others, Arges and 3 Hekatonkheire (hundred-armed giants) were Cottus, Briareus, and Giges.

Uranus hated his children and hid them at the bottom of the earth. Gaia wanted to take revenge on her husband, so she ordered the titans (her sons) to castrate Uranus and was carried out by her youngest son Cronus. In return, Gaia would make Kronos the ruler of the world. Gaia armed Kronos with a scythe/arith. When Uranus was ravaging Gaia, Cronus castrated Uranus and Uranus' genitals fell into the sea. From Uranus' wounds, the giant Erinyes, Nymphs and Meliai, were born. From Uranus' genitals comes Aphrodite.

Out of wrath at Cronus, Uranus predicted that Cronus would be deposed by his own son (as had happened to Uranus).
