Titans' Bio

We, the Titans, were the supreme rulers of earth long before the Olympians. Before those retched creatures over threw us, we ruled the Earth and all those within. We came to power by overthrowing our father, Uranus, and resided under Cronus, our leader. There were twelve of us in all, including six sons and six daughters. These were Cronus and Rhea, who gave birth to the Olympians. Lapetus, who gave birth to Prometheus (the dirty traitor), was another Titan from our ranks. The rest included Oceanus, Hyperion, Themis, Thae, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Croeus, Tethys, and Crius.

The story goes that Zues overthrew us and everything was just dandy. Zues, that despicable being, is the cause of our suffering. The world was a wonderful place before the war between the Titans and the Olympians ever occurred. Then the Titanomachy, the eleven year war with the Olympians took place. Of course Zues won in the end, casting us down into Tartarus, and there we lay, suffering in the deepest parts of the underworld.

We tried our best to prevent this from happening of course. When Gaia made a prophecy stating that one of Cronus’s own children would overthrow him, he did what any sensible person would do; swallow every child of his whole. One day however, Rhae, Cronus’s wife, tricked him into swallowing a rock wrapped in a blanket instead of Zues. This minor event lead to our destruction, and to this day the retelling this memory is unbearably painful.

We await the day we return to glory, and retake our rightful place from the Olympians as rulers of the universe. Until that day, misery greats us everyday down in this forsaken pit they call Tartarus.
