'''Titans''' according to [[Greek]] Mythology were six elder gods named: ''Cronus'', ''Coeus'', ''Crius'', ''Iapetus'', ''Hyperion'' and ''Oceanus'', who ruled the cosmos before the Olympian gods came to power. Cronus, The King of the Titanes, led his brothers in the castration of [[Uranus (mythology)| Uranus]], and was himself deposed by his son [[Zeus]].

The name Titans is also given to those semi-divine beings who were descended from the Titans, such as [[Prometheus]] and [[Helios]]. Prometheus was the wisest Titan. His name means "forethought" and he was able to foretell the future. [[Atlas]] was the son of Iapetus. Unlike his brothers Prometheus and [[Epimetheus]], Atlas fought with the other Titans supporting Cronus against Zeus. Due to Cronus's advanced age, Atlas lead the Titans in battle. As a result he was singled out by Zeus for a special punishment and made to hold up the sky on his shoulders. [http://edweb.sdsu.edu/people/bdodge/scaffold/GG/titan.html The Titans]
