In Greek mythology, the Titans (, ; : Τιτάν, ) were the deities who preceded the Olympians. According to the Theogony of Hesiod, they were the twelve children of the primordial deities Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth). The six male Titans were Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Cronus, and the six female Titans (called the Titanesses; , ; : Τιτανίς, ) were Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, and Tethys.
