BEFORE OLYMPUS

The Titans were not monsters.

They were the world’s previous dynasty — powers of memory, light, sea, law and rebellion.

This collection presents eleven of the twelve elder Titans and Prometheus, the most famous Titan of the second generation.

Cronus

Youngest of the elder Titans; he overthrew Uranus and ruled before Zeus.

Mother of the six great Olympians and the one who saved the newborn Zeus.

The cosmic river that the ancients imagined encircling the whole earth.

Mother of the river gods and Oceanids, and consort of Oceanus.

Titan of heavenly light and father of Helios, Selene and Eos.

Associated with brilliance, sight and the precious radiance of the sky.

Titan of intellect and the heavenly axis; father of Leto and Asteria.

Titaness of bright prophetic knowledge; grandmother of Apollo and Artemis.

Father of Atlas, Prometheus and Epimetheus; linked to the mortal condition.

The embodiment of divine order, custom and justice.

Memory itself; with Zeus she became the mother of the nine Muses.

A second-generation Titan, champion of humankind and thief of divine fire.
