In Greek mythology, the descendants of Uranos and Gaia were Titans. The Titans were brothers of Kronos , who was the son of Uranos and Gaia , and uncles and aunts to Zeus , who was the son of Kronos and Rhea . Also some cousins to Zeus received the status of Titans. But here are some gods of the first generation who were not considered to be Titans.
Hekatonkheires :
According to sources, Hecatoncheires were three sons of Uranos and Gaia who all were giants with hundred hands to create clouds and fifty heads to create winds. According to sources, Uranos was afraid of their strength, and imprisoned them in Gaia, along with the three Cyclopes. That triggered his fall, when Gaia then went in against him.
Cyclops :
According to sources, Cyclops were three one-eyed and in fight relentless gods who were the sons of Uranos and Gaia, as the first Titans were. But they are not counted among the Titans. Sources claim that Uranos was afraid of their strength, and imprisoned them in Gaia , along with the three hekatonkheires. That triggered his fall, when Gaia then went in against him.
Muses :
In the sources there is controversy about if the Muse was a Titan, an Olympian, or a Daimon (then nymph). In line with the Titans they were three. They were called Mousa or Mousai (Muse or Musae in Latin).
Guilt :
According to sources, guilt leap out of the blood of Uranos when he was castrated by his son Kronos. In ancient Greek it was believed to avenge crimes against the natural order. The guilt was called Erynys or Erinyes (Dira, Furiae or Furia in Latin). The three gods together were the accuse.
The first rulers :
Ophion og Eurynome were not actually Titans, but according to sources they lived at the same time as the first rulers after Uranos and Gaia. Kronos came to power after having wrestled against Ophion. Similarly, Rhea wrestled with Eurynome and won.
