Los Titanes
|
In Greek mythology, the Titans (Greek: Τιτάν—Ti-tan; plural: Τιτᾶνες—Ti-tânes) were a primeval race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky), that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. They were immortal huge beings of incredible strength and stamina and were also the first pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses. Where the Olympians lived in Olympus, the home of the Titans was Othrys, their stronghold. In the first generation of twelve Titans (the Uranides) the males were Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Cronus, Crius, and Iapetus The second generation of Titans (the Iapetionides) consisted of Hyperion's children Eos, Helios, and Selene; According to the ancient Greek Creation myth Uranus, the father of Hyperion and the other Titans, was terrified of the massive size and strength of his gigantic children and to prevent them rebelling against him, Uranus seized them immediately after their birth and hurled them down into a dark abyss called Tartarus, where he kept his Titan children in chains. The Titans were overthrown by a race of younger gods, the Olympians, in the Titanomachy ("War of the Titans"). This represented a mythological paradigm shift that the Greeks may have borrowed from the Ancient Near East. The Titans of greek mythology are,in the first generation, the aunts, uncles, and parents of the olympian gods and goddesses.There are 12 Titans who are children of Gaia and Uranus.The mother of earth is Gaea also known as the earth goddess. She mated with her son to produce the remaining world of Titans. Urenus is the sky god and first ruler.He is the son of gaea then became the husband. There were six elder Titans named Kronos, Koios, Lapetos, Hyperion, Okeanos, who ruled the world before Olympians came to power. |
