Titans

The Theoi are the origin of the term 'Titan', however, unfortunately, this ends up causing a huge amount of problems. The Titans in Greek Mythology are the generation of Deity-like-beings who lived and ruled the world before the uprising of Zeus and the subsequent rule of the Dodekatheon. The parents of the Titans were the Primordials, including those well known, such as Gaia and Ouranos, and those less known, such as Eros, and Oceanus who are very abstract entities who often do not play a direct role in mythology after the events of the Theogony.

The issue with the term 'Titan' however is not all Titans are 'Titans', the Primordials who are not Titans are defiantly 'Titans', and some Gods are 'Titans' even though they are not Titans. It might be a good idea to come up with better terms to describe the 'Titans' than Titan, as they obviously don't describe entirely the same beings, however for the moment we are stuck with it. When representing the 'Titans' of the Theoi however, keep in mind not everyone here would be regarded as a 'Titan', only those of the Titanic Generation (the brothers and sisters of Cronus, and their children excluding the Theoi) would be given such a name, where beings like Ouranos and Gaia would be called Primordials.

Furthermore, the Theoi have an absolutely colossal number of Titans, and about a same number of beings who could be written up as 'Titans'. Those presented here are the most well known, the most important, and the most interesting. However, one can likely find a Titan for almost any concept kicking around in the colossal family tree of the Greek Pantheon. If one is looking for more to add, the Primordial Cyclopes and the Hundred Handed Ones would be a good starting point.

Aphrodite-Ouranos - Titan of Love

Powers: Epic Appearance, Epic Manipulation

The Two Aphrodites, a particularly cruel trick of names. Born from the sea foam from the discarded penis of Ouranos, Aphrodite-Ouranos is the Titaness of Love, perfect and orderly. In contrast, the Goddess Aphrodite-Pandemos, the daughter of Zeus and Hera is the Goddess of Lust, disorderly and chaotic.

However, just where the Titaness begins and the Goddess ends is difficult, except when their nature shines through. Aphrodite-Ouranos is kind and loving, where Aphrodite-Pandemos is cruel and spiteful. One might suspect that the Venus of Rome and mother of Aeneas is likely Aphrodite-Ouranos, as she is a benevolent mother, scrubbed clean of the problematic taint of lust.

However, if a Scion seeks love, not trusting Eros and his arrows, diving to the depths to find Aphrodite-Ouranos is a strong plan. The Titaness is king and likely would be ecstatic to take a Scion in hand and find them their love. Be warned, though, the Titaness of Love ties knots that may not be broken. One may find themselves cradling Hel or Pan, though one may not care about this unfortunate match since their love would be so great.

Creatures: Aphrodite-Ouranos has no official servants at her beck and call, but at the same time, she somewhat does. As the fundamental force of love in the universe, Aphrodite-Ouranos could make anyone her loyal, adoring, and loving servant. Gods, Monsters, Scions, Mortals, and more things. Thankfully, Aphrodite-Ouranos has never needed to do such a thing so far.

Realm: Just where Aphrodite-Ouranos dwells is difficult to tell. She may dwell on Olympus, but Zeus had enough trouble on his hands with a single Aphrodite. Instead, Aphrodite-Ouranos likely dwells in the sea near where she emerged from the ocean, which is a much argued detail.

Atlas - The Pillar of Heaven

Powers: Epic Strength, Epic Stamina

The Titan Atlas is well known to the modern world, often depicted in his pose, struggling to hold the world on his shoulders. This is somewhat of a misunderstanding, as Atlas stands on one of the far edges of the world, up to his knees in the ocean, by the Garden of the Hesperides, and holds the Sky and Earth apart as punishment from Zeus.

Strangely, sometimes Atlas is referred to the leader of the Titans, which is the reason for this different punishment levied upon him rather than the rest of his kind. Though, no one has thought it necessary to ask Atlas himself, or Cronus for that matter. The issue might be one of some contention.

Reaching from the bottom of the sea, to the vault of the sky, Atlas stands steadfast, though why is a good question. He has shown that he is able to exchange the weight with another, when Heracles took the weight so Atlas could collect the Golden Apples for him, so he is not bound by force or magic. The answer might be that Atlas can not release the weight as doing so would have him crushed by Ouranos embracing Gaia again, so he stands ever struggling under the weight of his grandfather, hoping to trick another into baring the weight for him.

Creatures: Atlas has no real allies short of his family, including the Hesperides who are technically rather close to where he is imprisoned. In truth, Atlas doesn't need other beings to fight against the Gods. The Titan has held up the sky for eons now, the man might even be stronger than Kratos and Ba, the personifications of Strength and Force themselves.

Realm: Atlas is imprisoned, as mentioned, at the far edge of the world, standing in Oceanus and holding the Sky up. He has no grand realm of his own or anything of the sort. He may have once had a home on Olympus, however.

Cronus - The Crooked-Schemer

Powers: Fertility, Chaos, Epic Manipulation

Crooked-Schemer Cronus, King of the Titans, and Maimer of Ouranos was king of all the world during the Age of Gold, where animals could talk, and there was no crime in the land. Though, clever Theoi have pointed out that there was no crime as there were no laws at this time, save for Cronus is King.

Overthrown by Zeus, just as he overthrew Ouranos, Cronus was hurled into Tartarus to plot and scheme against his son while his fellows tested the gates and walls of their prison. His influence may have seeped out into the world during the time of Rome, as Saturn, his name given by the Latins, was significantly important in the Empire.

Cronus knows that his time has passed, but the terrible vengeance in his heart burns insatiably against his terrible children the Olympians, and his wife who so betrayed him. He even harbors wrath for Gaia for helping Rhea when he was devouring the infant Gods. But, even in the deep depths of Tartarus, some of his fellow Titans heard the whispers of the Son of Zeus, and Cronus laughed.

While Cronus knows Fate would never let him rule again, the Old King believes he has seen the pattern. Just like he freed his siblings, and how Zeus freed the Hundred Handed Ones and the Cyclopes, the Son of Zeus must (in Cronus’ theory) free the Titans in his war against Zeus. Then, Cronus can become a trusted adviser. While he longs to be King again, Cronus would be satisfied helping defeat his treacherous children, and dreams of the golden grandchild that he is certain will come and free him.

Creatures: Cronus is not much of a front line fighter, evidenced by his defeat by Zeus when the pair wrestled together. However, Cronus is still the King of the Titans. He doesn't have a plethora of beasts at his whim, he has Titans waiting on his beck and call. He likely also has the Giants on his side now, even though he betrayed them in the past, they are once again imprisoned. Cronus may also have secreted away some Golden Men (Humans from the Age of Gold when he ruled) which would likely be able to clash heads with Lesser Gods in the very least. Mortals from the Age of Heroes could wound Gods, and those were far depleted from the Age of Gold.

Realm: Sealed away in Tartarus, Cronus has no means of escape however, and sits, and plots, and dreams of that grandchild of his who will come to save him and the other Titans. The Old King waits in the darkness, ever patient.

Eos - The Lecherous Dawn

Powers: SunTitaness of the Dawn, Eos should stalk the nightmares of handsome young Theoi men. Just as the lechery of... well, most of the Theoi is renowned, Eos is their counterpart. Where her sister Selene swept away one young man, Eos’ lust leads her to grab many from the world and bring home to the far edge of the world.

Why this is the case is often attributed to Aphrodite, who is said to have cursed Eos to fall deeply in love with many mortals (non-Gods) and sweep them away to her home. Just why Aphrodite did this, no one knows, but the enmity must be great for her to levy such a curse. However, as much as Eos might sound like a good time, it should be kept in mind Eos is a primordial personification of a fundamental aspect of reality, and likely is... a difficult lover.

Ignoring the fact that she is up at the crack of dawn every morning, literally, Eos situation is a curse, not a free pass to have fun. Her lovers likely will have an... interesting experience if they are carried off by the Titaness. If someone's Band mate gets snatched up, it might require a quest to the end of the world, and explaining to Eos that her lover will come back one day, or maybe suggest she visits every night? It will likely not be easy in the slightest.

Creatures: Eos has no creatures, but, she has lovers. She was never imprisoned, and technically has been active since the very first Titanomachy. Who knows how many beings she has wrapped around her finger since then?

Realm: Eos’ home is on the far rim of the world where Helios dwells, though worryingly for Scions, Eos has not been replaced like her siblings. Every morning, Eos comes out to the world to bring the light of dawn, which has led to many handsome Scions intentionally setting their alarms forward several hours.

Eris - Strife

Powers: War, Chaos

Eris, daughter of the Primordial Nix, is a terrible force. Spared imprisonment for her mother’s neutrality in the Titanomachy. The mother of Toil, Neglect, Starvation, Pain, Battles, Combats, Bloodshed, Slaughter, Quarrels, Lies, Pretenses, Arguments, Disorder, Disaster, and Oath (“who most harms men on earth when someone knowingly swears false” - Hesiod).

Eris, in every incarnation is strife. Strife between friends, strife between lovers, strife in battle, and strife within a family, such as when Eris threw her golden apple and caused the Trojan War to erupt. No man, woman, Goddess, or God should seek Eris, for no good comes from her.

The Titaness does seem to find a kindred spirit in Ares, worrying to many, not the least to Aphrodite. A clash between Aphrodite and Eris would likely tear Olympus asunder however, and thankfully for the time being such a contest for Ares has been avoided.

Creatures: Eris has no servants, but, that doesn't make her any less dangerous. Just by other beings existing, Eris is horrifically dangerous. Dionysus can inspire someone's mother to tear them apart in a mad frenzy. Just imagine what horrors Eris could unleash.

Realm: The Titaness does appear to drop off the map, and likely lives either on Olympus, or far in the stygian depths of Erebus in the hall of her mother and her husband. Eris’ nature of strife would be a difficult figure if there was a second Titanomachy, as Eris would likely be neutral, but not in the same vein as her mother. Eris would delight in the strife and chaos, and would never want the conflict to end. She may help one side, but she would fight against a resolution with every drop of ichor in her veins.

Gaia - The Land

Powers: Earth

The second being in existence, and the one that the vast majority of the divinities of the Greek world can trace their descent up to, sometimes in multiple different ways, Gaia is a tremendously powerful being. So far, none have managed to resist her ire in the end of things. Ouranos, her husband and son, was overthrown by Cronus, prompted by Gaia herself who gave her other son the toothed-adamantine sickle he used to castrate his father. When Cronus displeased Rhea by consuming their children, Cronus had likely also raised the wrath of Gaia. As he had imprisoned the Hundred Handed Ones and the Primordial Cyclopes, Gaia helped her daughter rebel against the king. Now, with her Grandson Zeus as King, Gaia has already acted against him. Zeus imprisoned the Titans, and the Giants, continuing in the long tradition.

Now, Zeus is Fated to fall at the hands of one of his own sons, and from what we all know of Grecian tales, no amount of effort on Zeus part will stop this. In the end, Zeus too will fall, and one can almost guarantee Gaia will be there helping the fated Son of Zeus. And, too, one can almost guarantee that in time the Son of Zeus will displease Gaia, and this will all begin again.

Creatures: Gaia's primary servant is Typhon, a Titan mentioned further down the page. The rest of Gaia's children are somewhat distant or removed from her, but Typhon is hers, her son, her servant, her attack dog. If Typhon were freed, all who Gaia hated would soon know it.

Realm: As Gaia is the land itself, even Zeus never found out a way to imprison her. Furthermore, Zeus has literally moved the heavens to save Gaia from being burned by the sun before when Helios' chariot ran wild and flew too close to the earth. The relationship between the King of the Gods and his Kingmaker Grandmother is, therefore, a total complex mess. Though, to be fair, all family situations of the Theoi are complex messes.

Hecate - The Torch-Bearer

Powers: Moon, Death, Magic, TravelHecate, the one Titaness, and perhaps entity who Zeus respects. Hecate cast her lot with Zeus in his rebellion against her people, and for this Zeus allowed Hecate to keep her lot of the heavens, the earth, and the underworld.

Hecate was widely worshiped at moments, especially by the Eleusinian Mysteries who saw Hecate in her role as companion of Persephone invaluable to their beliefs... somehow. Being a mystery cult, the details are somewhat mysterious.

Hecate, Titaness of crossroads, witchcraft, necromancy (as in speaking with the dead, not animation of the dead) and the moon high above is a powerful figure and friend of Zeus. Though, some do wonder if when the time comes, Hecate may too defect to the Son of Zeus as easily as she defected to The Son of Cronus.

The Titaness seems to have been once a virginal Goddess, but Diodorus Siculus claims her to be the mother of Medea, which would make much of the tale of Medea make sense, which may lend some legitimacy to the claim. However, despite this, Hecate remains unmarried, and as even Zeus pays her exceptional respect, it is doubtful she would ever marry.

Creatures: Hecate doesn't appear to have any direct servants, but, she does have 'Dragons'. Not the Firedrakes of the Norse, but large, winged snakes which pulled her chariot. Just how powerful they are is unclear, but, no one really wants to test them.

Realm: Hecate lives with Persephone, half the year in Hades’ halls, and the other half on Olympus with Demeter. Hecate guides Persephone out of the stygian underworld with her two torches and back to the lands of the living.

Helios - The Far-Seeing Sun

Powers: Sun, Epic Perception

Son of Hyperion, Helios outright defected from his father and joined Zeus after the rebel youth offered up sacrifices to Helios before the outbreak of war. The Titan of the Sun was once exceptionally involved with the Theoi, telling Demeter who took her daughter, sweeping down from the sky and saving Gods during the war with the Giants, and assisting Heracles by giving him a great cup to travel the sea in.

However, Helios passed the literal reigns of the four horsed chariot of the sun to Apollo, likely after Helios allowed his son Phaethon to drive the chariot of the Sun, and burned the flesh of Gaia, leading to Zeus striking him down with a thunderbolt and flooding the world to save his grandmother. After that, Helios slowly faded from the world as Apollo took over command of the Sun.

Creatures: Helios is one of the rare Theoi who actually does have something hanging around which could be classified as such. The Bulls of the Sun lived on Thrinacia. They are immortal, huge, and fat creatures who Helios likely dines upon at his pleasure. The bulls are not really... dangerous, except for the fact they are dangerously delicious, and killing one will bring down the Titan's wrath.

Realm: Now, Helios lives in his golden home far to the West of the world, by the rim of the world, near to where Oceanus dwells. Helios is a staunch ally of Zeus however, and though he does not have as strong a vantage point as he used too, the Titan of the Sun would likely be the first to notice a breach of the Tartarus gate. One can be sure Helios has a chariot stored at his home, and if he thought his elder family was returning, two suns would blaze in the sky as Helios raced to Olympus to warn his friend Zeus.

Hyperion - All That Is Bright

Powers: Sun

The Titan of Light was betrayed by his children, Helios, Selene, and Eos in the Titanomachy, and they sided with the Gods and fought against their father. Hyperion was hurled into the depths of Tartarus along with his brothers and sisters, to sit in the ebon depths in fury for the betrayal of his own children.

When examining the list of the Titans to see the might of those defeated by the Olympians, many Scions have stopped at Hyperion and ruled him out as a challenge, but let not his nature deceive. If Hyperion were to be released, the Titan would wrestle his treacherous children for control of the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars. If Hyperion were to overcome his children, he could snatch away light from the world, and leave the Theoi blind in utter darkness.

Creatures: Like most of the Greek Titans, Hyperion has no servants at his beck and call any more.

Realm: Deep in the depths of the prison, Hyperion’s light fights against Tartarus’ own deep darkness, leading the bowl shaped prison to dance with the shadows of his brothers and sisters sealed away in the stygian darkness.

Iapetus - The Allotter of Lifetimes

Powers: Death

Where Typhon is roaring violence, Iapetus is the subtle killer. Violent death, he who allots mortals their lifespan, Iapetus is the father of Prometheus, Atlas, and Epimethius. To the immortal and ageless Gods of the Greeks, Iapetus is somewhat weakened in might. One can not allot a lifespan to a being who does not die. If Iapetus had been able to rule the lives of Immortals, the Titanomachy likely would have had a far different outcome.

But, Iapetus does not. Immortals are outside the reach of the Titan, but their Scions, those are different. They fall under the jurisdiction of Iapetus, and he could prove a scourge to their existence if he were to be released from the prison.

However, Cronus sitting in his prison has thought much of Iapetus in his schemings, and has devised an idea. There are other beings like them, other ancient, powerful beings who were defeated or imprisoned by unruly descendants. Not all of them are immortal as the Divinities of Greece are. Iapetus would be a terrible weapon against them, moving like a sickle through a field of barley.

Furthermore, in Cronus’ scheming, Iapetus’ power could be used to allot more life instead of shorten it. If the fated Son of Zeus is a half-mortal Scion, Iapetus is the greatest means the Titans have of protecting him from Zeus and the Theoi.

Creatures: Iapetus has no servants, but does have his three sons who would likely answer his call. However, one might want to not invite Epimethius, he is... unlucky.

Realm: Just like the majority of the Titans, Iapetus is sealed away in Tartaus, waiting for the almost inevitable arrival of The Son of Zeus.

Mnemosyne - Memory

Powers: Epic Intelligence, Mystery

Mnemosyne is the Titan of Memory, third wife of Zeus, and mother of the muses. The Titaness is powerful to those who see that there is more to power than might, for there can be no secrets to Mnemosyne, as she knows the memory of all. Every God, Titan, and mortal Mnemosyne can remember their memories as if they were her own.

What happened to cause the divorce of Zeus and Mnemosyne is unknown, but from their union did spring the Muses who brought all of the great arts to humanity. Furthermore, the Titaness is a worry to many Gods and Titans alike, as no secrets can be kept from her, and all of their sins, all of their secrets are known to her.

Creatures: Not a single one, but, knowledge is power. Especially when Gods keep so many secrets.

Realm: This great power is lost. Just like Themis, Mnemosyne drops off the mythological map, and where she has gone is unknown. Likely she is not in Olympus, as Zeus would be able to know what Prometheus knows about his Fated Son. Instead, the Titaness may be at the far ends of the world with her brother Oceanus and sister Tethys, or perhaps she is somewhere else, or having been captured and sealed away by another God too afraid of her knowledge.

Oceanus - The Rim Sea

Powers: Water

Oceanus is the only Titan to neither have warred with Zeus, or warred with Cronus. Instead, Oceanus refused to partake in the war, and sat regulating the tides and watching over the fish. Not to say that the Titan is not horrifically powerful, but he just saw no benefit to side with either clashing force.

While he does not get involved in wars, he does care about his family. Oceanus raised Hera, to which Hera was so grateful that when Oceanus and his wife Tethys had a marital issue, the Goddess of Marriage attended personally to help them return to a loving embrace. Dionysus’ cult even claimed that when the young God was torn apart by the Titans, Oceanus wept for him, a libation of tears.

Now, Oceanus dwells in the West, by the far edge of the world in the home he shares, once again in marital bliss, with Tethys. They are seldom seen by the Olympians, but especially to those favored of Hera, the Titan couple would welcome them with open arms. Never bound by Zeus as he did not partake in the first Titanomachy, one could probably be sure if the Titans were to break free again, Oceanus would sit in his beautiful home by the rim of the world, and not partake.

Unless, of course, a charming Titan or God got to the couple and convinced them to join on one side or the other.

Creatures: Technically his wife Tethys is a Titan herself, but is not written up to prevent this list from being upwards of fifty Titans long. She is a Sea Titan, like himself. Hera as a close family friend would likely answer a call for help by Oceanus as she has helped the couple with marital issues in the past. If her foster parents are threatened, she may send Ares. Or, if she wants something actually done, Athena.

Realm: Oceanus is the border ocean of the world, as well as living by the far shore of this ocean. The Titan was never imprisoned, and lives there happily as described above. In fact, technically, Atlas is imprisoned within Oceanus as an area. Entire stories could take place within Oceanus.

Ouranos - The Heavens

Powers: Sky

The primordial father of the Titans and Theoi alike, Ouranos has not led the most enjoyable of lives. First, he gets born, and then has a gaggle of children with his mother. All is going well except those strange little things won't stop making a damn cacophony of noise, so he shoves them all in a cave. Unfortunately, this doesn't go over well, much to Ouranos surprise, and snip snip, his genitals are cut off and thrown into the ocean. Then, after all of the screaming in pain, he discovers he isn't in charge any more (if he ever really was), and that castrating little child of his is in charge now.

Eventually, the castrating little bastard gets ousted, but before he can reach down and cradle his beloved in his arms again, some Grandson of his is standing between the pair of them holding them apart.

Fortunately for the Theoi, Ouranos likely isn't a dangerous antagonist. If he wanted to be, he would be horrifically dangerous, he almost crushed all life on earth without meaning to once. However, the castration is more than physical as almost all things are in mythological worlds, and Ouranos is now placid and withdrawn. He is there, and watches everything with vague curiosity, but he has lost his vigor. A particularly... foolhardy Scion might delve into the ocean and try to retrieve Ouranos genitals, but even the Titans don't want Ouranos returned to his old world-crushing ways. It likely would be an impressively terrible idea to do so.

Creatures: Ouranos isn't the most liked being by his descendants, and therefore is, well, all alone sadly. Poor Ouranos.

Realm: Ouranos is physically the vault of the heavens itself. He was never imprisoned practically, but is 'imprisoned' and is imprisoning Atlas at the same time.

Prometheus - The Thief of Fire

Powers: Epic Intelligence, Fire, Epic Stamina

Prometheus is a crafty Titan, and one who was freed from his imprisonment centuries ago by Heracles during the Age of Heroes. Often misunderstood by humanity, he has sometimes been seen as a benevolent figure who wanted to help mankind against the oppressive gods. Prometheus himself might even encourage this lie.

After Zeus had overthrown the Titans, Prometheus went to humanity at Mecone and taught them how to conceal the waste from slaughtered animals in the skin of a beast, and then offer this as sacrifice. This allowed humanity to save the best of the sacrifices for themselves, instead of the Gods. Modern humanity often mistakes this as a kindness, but they should remember that to most Gods and Titans, humanity is little more than mayflies, and Prometheus’ actions are a great insult and Vengeance against Zeus.

However, the trick failed, and Zeus noticed. In his anger, Zeus took from humanity fire, the method of their sacrifices, but Prometheus escaped unharmed. The Titan looked upon humanity, and saw that his entire trick was useless without Fire, so he snuck into Olympus and hid an ember from the Olympian Hearth in a reed, and brought it to humanity far below so that Zeus could not take it from humanity again, and so that the God’s trick would continually anger the Theoi.

Incapable of leaving Zeus not infuriated, Prometheus additionally added that he knew who the son who would overthrow Zeus would be and refused to tell the King of the Gods. Enraged, Zeus had Prometheus chained in adamantine and had a great eagle eat his liver every day, only to regrow every night so the eagle could feast again the next day. As punishment against humanity for going along with these false sacrifices, the Theoi created Pandora and sent to earth all the evil in the world.

However, where Prometheus is now, no one knows. Heracles freed the Titan, and he vanished to the four winds. Many Gods and Titans would like to find the Titan of Foresight however, as the secret of Zeus’ son is worth much to many.

Creatures: None explicitly, but, he might be able to make creatures as he did before in the past if he set his mind to it. Prometheus is not the sort to have a horde of creatures or friends at his side, instead providing a destructive presence through his trickery.

Realm: No one knows! He used to be bound to the mountain, but Heracles freed him. Prometheus is likely putting a huge amount of his effort into staying hidden, as Zeus really would love to get his hands back on the Titan.

Rhea-Cybele - The Mad Mother

Powers: Chaos, Fertility, Mystery

Rhea is, or more aptly put, was the loving mother of the Olympians, she who plotted to save Zeus, and helped her son save his siblings from the depths of Cronus’ belly. For this, Zeus lauded his mother, and spared her as he was sealing the Titans away in Tartarus, something which one wonders if he has come to regret.

After Hera had struck Dionysus mad and he began to wander the world, he eventually found Rhea far to the east where she cured him of the madness and taught him her mysteries. Some among the Dodekatheon suspect that she took his burden of madness upon herself, and this was the start of Cybele.

What these mysteries were, only Dionysus and his followers know, but in her madness they shared knowledge of rituals that would churn the stomachs of the Theoi. Orgies, and ecstasy fueled dances with drums spread among her worshipers like wildfire, and even included self-mutilation. During the Roman period, self-castration became so popular it had to be outlawed completely.

Creatures: Rhea-Cybele once had a cult so large and chaotic that it had to be banned by law. If she returned to the world, her cults would likely reignite into presence and there would be a resurgence of self-castration. The Theoi themselves likely still love their mother very much, even with to her madness. Dionysus could be entirely counted as her ally. She was often depicted with lions drawing her chariot, so that could prove a suitable source of servants.

Realm: The Titaness, with her chariot of Lions, is still unbound. Even after this shift in character, Zeus is still likely too adoring of his mother to hurl her into Tartarus. She lives in the hidden forest glens of Anatolia, or some say further West, somewhere by the edge of the world, where sky and earth meet. It would be a brave Scion who ventured to find her, but if one did, the secrets they could be taught might be able to rival Dionysus.

Selene - The Obsessed Moon

Powers: Moon, Epic Appearance

Daughter of Hyperion, Selene is one of the Titans who fought against her fellows, or can be presumed to have as she holds a positive relationship with Zeus and was never imprisoned. However, Selene is far from benevolent.

Titaness of the Moon, Selene long ago gave up her chariot to young Artemis, and having a new abundance of time on her hands revealed Selene to be... obsessive. The Titaness of the Moon saw the young shepherd who had been gifted eternal youth, but immortality by Zeus, and instantly fell in love with his utter beauty. The Moon Titan stared at the young man with wide eyes, and swept down from the sky to carry Endymion off to her home far off home.

The Cult of Dionysus suggested that Selene might bring madness with her, which may be true, as the Titan showcased an utterly obsessive nature in her adoration and capture of the sleeping Endymion.

Creatures: Past her fifty daughters, and Endymion himself, Selene has no real monsters or servants at her beck and call. Her brother Helios would have a societal obligation to come to her aid however.

Realm: The home of Selene is filled with fifty daughters she bore with the sleeping youth Endymion, who she has lovingly secreted away. Where this home is, however, goes unmentioned. Somewhere high above, maybe even on the moon itself, or perhaps hanging from the celestial vault, or perhaps on Olympus. Her brother Helios lives far by the edge of the world, which may be where Selene found a new home to house her beloved. Either way, the Titaness has no time for matters such as war or conflict, unless they risk her adored Endymion. If someone were to harm her beloved, or steal him away, the Moon Titan would likely stop at nothing to bring the wrath of her entire family crashing down upon whoever it was.

Themis - Divine Law

Powers: Justice, Prophecy

The second wife of Zeus, and creator of the primal-laws, the unwritten laws, what modern humanity would regard as taboos. Hospitality, organisation, servitude to the Gods, and such ur-laws of the Greeks. With Zeus, she bore the Moirai (the Fates), the Horai (the seasons), Eunomia (Order), Dike (Justice), and Eirene (Peace) as she brought order to the world.

However, the marriage failed for some reason, as Zeus married another in time, but Themis was not sealed away with the other Titans. However, one would doubt if the Titaness pained for her siblings, as under Cronus’ rule there were no laws, a state of the world Themis would likely despise.

Creatures: Her children with Zeus likely could prove powerful allies of the Titans. The Fates, the Seasons, Order, Justice, and Peace all could bring almost any fight to a standstill, or complete ceasefire.

Realm: After Apollo took ownership of Delphi, which was the seat of Themis as a prophet, the Titaness goes somewhat... missing in myth. She might have ascended Olympus to dwell with the Olympians and her ex-husband, but she too may dwell far afield in the house of her brother Oceanus. Or, perhaps, in a stranger place yet.

Typhon - The Beast of Gaia

Powers: Animal, Storms, Epic Appearance (-), Fire

Typhon, son of Gaia and Tartarus was born with the single purpose of overthrowing Zeus for his betrayal of sealing the Titans and the Giants away under the earth. A colossal monster, Typhon has one hundred snake heads coming from his shoulders, with legs made of colossal serpents, and two huge feathered wings sprouting from his back. The Gods have fled and run from him before, and some say he defeated Zeus in their first combat together.

The beast Typhon is the most fearsome enemy of the Theoi. The largest threat the Pantheon has ever faced, Typhon nearly overthrew Zeus in the momentous battle that caused all of reality, including Tartarus far below to shake. When he and Zeus clashed, the monster wielded terrible heat and blazes against Zeus, and after he was sealed away, was the source of the volcanic heat of Mount Etna.

But, others say he was not sealed under Mount Etna, and instead thrown into Tartarus with his siblings, and from there came the stormy west wind blown forth by the giant bestial Titan as he raged in animalistic fury in his capture.

Where other Titans may think, or plot, Typhon does not. It is actually his greatest weakness. Typhon’s only role in existence is to defeat Zeus, and if he were to escape his imprisonment, he would still be as single minded. To overthrow Zeus is his only goal, to cripple the God and then... nobody knows. Likely, Gaia would chose what happens next.

Creatures: Typhon is the father of monsters along with his wife Echidna, with such notable children as Cerberus, Chimera, the Lernaean Hydra, the Nemean Lion, the Sphinx, and generally almost any monster that tormented Greek Heroes. Echidna herself is likely also a Titan in terms of power, and should have Animal, and Fertility at the very least.

Realm: Typhon is sealed either under Mount Etna, or inside Tartarus, only the Dodekatheon and Hades know for sure. It could be that Typhon’s rage is so great that the colossal bronze prison of Tartarus has a vent for Typhon’s burning rage, which could accommodate both theories.

One Titan In and they are already Being Weird

One Titan in and I bet you're looking at us going, "What have you fools done this time? Aphrodite a Titan? Shove off." Let me explain our reasoning, and then I'll give you a way to totally ignore this all.

The King of the Isle of the Blessed

Unhelpfully, a later tradition suggests that Zeus forgave his father, and casts Cronus as the King of the Isle of the Blessed, another version of Elysium. This is exceptionally weird, and doesn't make a lot of sense from the Zeus we know and... watch a bit like a derailed train. If one really wants to count this idea, give him Death as well.

She Sounds... Fun?

Eos is a bit interesting in the context of the Greeks being a very patriarchal and controlling culture for women. Why Eos gets to run around kidnapping boytoys at her pleasure probably has to do with the fact that she is a fundamental part of the functioning of reality and she can't quite be stopped.

Cycle of Vengeance

A keen observer will notice a pattern with Gaia. The Titaness helps a new ruler rise to power, and then helps orchestrate their fall when they inevitably imprison some of her children.

No Witchy-Mother?

Hecate in the past has been frequently made into someone who can be a Divine Parent. We chose not to do this to prevent the Theoi from having a number of Legend 12 Gods well into the 20s, but if one really wants, Hecate can entirely be made into a Divine Parent.

How Powerful Is He?

Somewhat of a complicated question. Internally, Iapetus is very weak, as none of the Theoi are mortal, so he does not have authority over their lifespans, as they have none.

This Is Dumb, Guys.

Rhea and Cybele were heavily syncretized in-culture and remained that way for a very long time. But we can understand if you want to go back to their most ancient roots and divide them, or if you are not comfortable with the benevolent mother of the Gods turning into a madwoman that inspires genital snipping rituals.

Rhea would have Fertility, and Cybele would have Chaos and Mystery.

So, we divided Aphrodite into her two forms of Aphrodite-Pandemos and Aphrodite-Ouranos for two big reasons. Firstly, internally, the two figures were seen as rather different in function (Unbridled Lust - Romantic Love) which both had exceptionally different perceptions in the culture which spawned them. Furthermore, both figures can helpfully be separated by their parentage, and it really helps explain why Aphrodite is sometimes a terrifying unhelpful and spiteful Goddess, and why sometimes she is a kind helpful figure.

But! Want to ignore everything I just said? Go for it. Just add Epic Manipulation to Aphrodite-Pandemos's Associated Powers and tone down that monofocus on Appearance. Try to capture the somewhat erratic personality of the Goddess as well. Maybe add Fertility if one wants to include Venus as well.

Oh, and that Time stuff? Different guy, Khronus, like Chronology. Also by 'time' the ancient world mostly means 'Seasons', so, no time traveling Titans. Sorry folks.

However, she does give a good chance to give attractive male Theoi Scions a hard time. Think just the girls get accosted? Just wait 'till its afternoon and Eos is on break. She's coming to get all the pretty boys.

This pattern is a danger for The Son of Zeus, whenever he arrives. If they imprison (or somehow kill) any of Gaia's descendants, they too will eventually fall to Gaia's ire. The only thing that may break this cycle is a forgiving leader who forgives the inevitable challenges to their rule, especially by those they conquer.

However, if he were to face off against other Pantheons, that would be another story. Against the more mortal Pantheons, Iapetus could tear through the ranks. However, he is likely most powerful protecting The Son of Zeus.
