Ancient Greek Mythology- The Titans of Ancient Greece


According to Greek mythology, the Titans were a race of primordial, powerful deities that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. The Titans were created by Gaea and her surrounding Uranus(Heaven), who embraced her strongly with his starry mantle and they became the first divine couple of the World.

The Titans were first dwelling in Mount Olympus in Ancient Greece, but were overthrown and expelled to the lower basement of Hades, the Tartarus, after their defeat in a huge battle with the Olympian Gods.
