IN Greek mythology, the Titans were the pre-Olympian gods. They were the 12 children of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth).

Eight of the Titans married each other. From Cronus and Rhea's union emerged the first generation of Olympians: Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, Demeter and Hera. Some descendants of the Titans, like Prometheus, Atlas, Helios and Leto, are also sometimes referred to as Titans. Cronus, the leader of the Titans, ruled during the Golden Age, a time of peace and prosperity.
