The Titans and Olympians

The Titans, often called the Elder Gods, were of untold ages supreme in the universe. They were of enormous size and of incredible strength. There were many of them, but only a few appear in the stories of mythology. The most important was Cronus, in Latin Saturn. He ruled over the other titans until his son Zeus dethroned him and seized the power for him self. The other notable titans were ocean the river that was supposed to encircle the Earth, his wife Tethys-Hyperion the father of the sun.
