Greek mythology is often defined by the Olympian gods, such as Zeus, Athena, and Hades, who governed domains like the skies, seas, sun, and agriculture. However, these figures were preceded by the Titans, a formidable generation of gods who held power before the rise of the Olympians.
The term Titan refers to two distinct groups of deities, categorized as elder and younger generations. Their struggle for dominance over the universe, the Titanomachy, serves as the pivotal transition between these two eras of divine rule.
