THE TITANS
The mighty Titans were the powerful members of the second generations of divine beings before the Olympians, in the time of the Golden Age of men. They were immortal giants of incredible strength and knowledge of old religion rituals and magic. They were also known as the Elder Gods. Their dwelling place was Mount Othrys, a mountain in central Greece, in the northeastern part of Phtiotis and southern part of Magnesia.
The first generation of Titans were the twelve offsprings of Ouranus and Gaea:
—KRONOS! Ruling Titan Titan of Time The Youngest of Twelve Husband to Rhea To insure his safety and reign, he ate his children as they were born. It worked, until Rhea, unhappy at the loss of her children, tricked Kronos into swallowing a rock instead of Zeus. When he grew up, Zeus would overthrow his father and the rest of the Titans, and banish them to the Underworld.
—IAPETUS! Titan of Mortality Father of Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Atlas One of the four brothers that's conspired with Kronos to castrate and despise of their father Ouranos

—TETHYS! Titan of Fresh Water Wife of Oceanus Together they created the rivers as the three thousand ocean nymphs
—THEMIS! Titan of Justice and Order Mother of the Fates and the Seasons
During the reign of the Titans, some siblings consorted with each other while others consorted with the sons and daughters of their relatives and gave birth to the second generation of Titans.
—HELIOS! The Sun Son of Hyperion and Theia Drives the chariot of the sun across the sky each day
—SELENE! The Moon Daughter of Hyperion and Theia Drives the moon chariot across the Heavens

—PROMETHEUS! Titan of Forethought Supreme Trickster God of Fire The Thief of Fire Stole fire from Zeus and returned it to Earth. Was chained to a rock in the Caucasus for eternity, where his liver is eaten daily by an eagle, only to be regenerated by night, due to his immortality. Years later, he was freed by the Greek hero Heracles.

As a result Prometheus was forced to steal fire from heaven to arm them.
—MENOETIUS! Titan of Violent Anger, Rash Actions, and Human Mortality Doomed Might Exceedingly prideful and impetuous Son of Iapetus Brother to Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Atlas Zeus struck him down on Mount Triphyle with a flash of lightning and vanished him to Tartarus

—PALLAS! Titan of Warcraft Son of Crius and Eurybia Brother of Astraeus and Perses Husband of Styx Father of Zelus, Nike, Kratos, and Bia
—PERSES! Titan of Destruction Son of Crius and Eurybia Husband of Asteria Father of Hecate
Kronos, paranoid and fearing the end of his rule, now turned into the terrible king his father Uranus had been, swallowing each of his children whole as they were born from his sister-wife Rhea. Rhea, however, managed to hide her youngest child Zeus, by tricking Kronos into swallowing a rock wrapped in a blanket instead.
Rhea brought Zeus to a cave in Crete, where he was raised by Amalthea. Upon reaching adulthood, he masqueraded as Kronos' cupbearer. Once Zeus had been established as a servant of Kronos, Metis gave him a mixture of mustard and wine which would cause Kronos to vomit up his swallowed children. After freeing his siblings, Zeus led them in rebellion against the Titans.
The war lasted ten years, but eventually Zeus and the Olympians won. The Titans were imprisoned in Tartarus and the Hecatonchires were made their guards. Only when Zeus was sure of his power did he free the Titans.
