The Titans

The Titans by Jacob bostic

The 12 Titans

Gaea The earth mother.

Kronos Cronus, god of time and of the ages.

Rhea Rhea, a Titaness, was married to Cronus. She bore him four children: Hestia, Hera, Hades and Poseidon. However, unfortunately for Rhea, Cronus devoured them soon after they were born because he knew that one of his sons would overpower him and he hoped that swallowing his children would change his destiny. But Rhea, when she was ready to give birth to her fifth child, hid herself in a cave on the island of Crete. She gave birth to Zeus in this cave. Instead of the baby, she gave Cronus a stone wrapped in baby clothes, which he swallowed without knowing what Rhea had done. For the rest of his youth, Zeus was raised in that hidden cave on Crete by nymphs and goats.

Hyperion HYPERION was the Titan god of light, one of the sons of Ouranos (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth), and the father of the lights of heaven--Eos the Dawn, Helios the Sun, and Selene the Moon. His wife was Theia, lady of the aither--the shining blue of the sky. Hyperion's name means "watcher from above" or "he who goes above" from the Greek words hyper and iôn.

Hyperion was one of the four Titan brothers who conspired with Kronos in the castration of their father Ouranos.
