The Greek version of the Creation Story The Titans (the elder gods) ruled the earth before the Olympians overthrew them. During their rule, the Titans were associated with the various planets. The ruler of the Titans was Cronus who was de-throned by his son Zeus. Most of the Titans fought with Cronus against Zeus. Zeus punished them by banishing them to Tartarus.

Some famous TITANS: Prometheus - "forethought" could foretell the future. was the protector and benefactor of man. gave mankind a number of gifts including fire. tricked Zeus into allowing man to keep the best part of the animals sacrificed to the gods and to give the gods the worst parts. Zeus punished Prometheus: chained to a rock where every day an eagle ate his liver which regrew for the next day. left there for all eternity or until he disclosed which of Zeus' children would try to replace Zeus. He was eventually rescued by Hercules without giving in to Zeus.

Atlas 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 world on his back.
