1. OCEANUS
 In Greek mythology, Oceanus was the river that flowed
around the Earth. He is the Titan God of the Sea and
Water, and the eldest of the Titans. He is the only male
titan who did not join the conflict between the titans and
the gods because he did not want to pick a side. Oceanus
and his sister Thetis had almost 6000 Oceanids (spirits of
the seas and rivers) as a result of their marriage.

named after the Greek word for "questioning."
He is known as the Titan God of Oracles,
Wisdom, and Foresight. Coeus was the keeper of
the north pillar. He was the Titan god of wisdom,
and he married his sister Phoebe

4. HYPERION

Hyperion was the Titan god of light, wisdom, and
vigilance. He married his sister Thea, and they
gave birth to Helios, the sun, Selene, the moon,
and Eos, the dawn. Hyperion and three of his
other brothers, Coeus, Crius, and Iapetus, formed
the four pillars that separated and held the
heavens above one another. According to one of
the more horrifying Greek traditions, the same
four pillars pinned their father down while Cronus
castrated Uranus with his sickle.

5. IAPETUS
 His name derives from the Greek word meaning to
pierce usually with a spear; therefore, Iapetus may have
been considered as the god of craftsmanship, although
other sources site him as the god of mortality. He was
also considered the personification of one of the four
pillars that hold the heavens and the earth apart, a role
that he later bequeathed to his son, Atlas. He
represented the pillar of the west, the other three being
represented by his brothers Crius, Coeus and Hyperion.

6. CRONUS
 Cronus in greek mythology was the leader and
youngest of the first generation of Titans, the divine
descendants of Uranus (Father Heaven) and Gaea
(Mother Earth). He overthrew his father and ruled
during the mythological Golden Age, until he was
overthrown by his own son Zeus and imprisoned in
Tartarus. He was usually depicted with a sickle, which
was the instrument he used to castrate and depose
Uranus, his father.

7. THEIA
 Theia was the Titan Goddess of the Sun and
Light. Wife and sister of Hyperion. She is not
shown much in mythology, but it is known that she
was the also presided over the bright blue sky. She
was also the goddess that gave gold, silver, and
other gems with their sparkle or brightness. That is
why she sometimes was said to be a shining titan
goddess as well.

8. RHEA
 Rhea is the Titan Goddess of Fertility. She was the wife of
Cronos and the mother of the original six Olympian gods. She
betrayed her husband who swallowed their first five children,
by hiding their sixth child from him. This would result in the
Titanomachy, leading to the Titans defeat and banishment to
Tartarus. Rhea's fate and location is unknown after that. In
Greek mythology, Rhea was a daughter of Uranus and Gaea,
and one of the twelve Titans. She wed her brother Cronos
and gave birth to the first six Olympians: Zeus, Poseidon

9. THEMIS
 The Titan goddess Themis represented natural and moral
order and law. She became the second wife of Zeus, helped
him hold power over the other gods and all the earth. She
created the divine laws that even superseded the authority
of the gods themselves. She manifested in multiple different
forms, and mothered the Fates and the Hours. Themis was
the main Titan goddess of the oracle at Delphi, but she was
so fond of Apollo that she eventually offered the Oracle to
him. She is the Titan Goddess of Law, Order, and Justice.

12. TETHYS
 Tethys was the Titan goddess of the primal font of
fresh water which nourishes the earth. She was
married to her brother, Oceanus, and gave birth to the
river gods. Tethys was perhaps identified with the

was cast into the Ocean-stream along with her
husband Cronus. Tethys was described by late
classical poets as the sea personified and was
equated with Thalassa.
