Story[]
The first Titan King and Queen were Ophioneus and his wife Eurynome, who would later defeated by Cronus and Rhea in a wrestling match, who took their places. The Titans lived well until Cronus swallowed five of the children Rhea bore him, in hopes of avoiding a prophecy Uranus told Cronus that his own child would overthrow him and take his place as the leader of the gods. However Rhea would manage to protect their youngest child, Zeus from Cronus, by birthing him on Mount Ida and passing him to the Idaian Nymphs, Adrasteia and Ida to raise protected by the Kuretes and after this fooled Cronus into swallowing a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes instead of their final child.
An adult Zeus would meet Cronus and pass him a special concoction created by the Oceanid, Metis, that when Cronus swallowed (not knowing it was bad for him) caused him to vomit up the five children he swallowed, uniting Zeus with his siblings: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Poseidon and Hades, who ran away together. The siblings became the six founding members of the Olympian gods, taking their group name from Mount Olympus, their home. The Olympians sought help from other gods and monsters to defeat Cronus and his allies, in what would become the Titan Wars and luckily for them several Titans sided with them and even fought alongside them, including in the Giant Wars. When the Olympians and their allies won the wars, they imprisoned Cronus and his allies in Tartarus, and gifted the Titans (and other gods) who helped them win.
One Titan ally named Prometheus, however would later rebel against the Olympians, by taking fire from Mount Olympus to his creation, the humans to help them, even though Zeus had made it clear that fire was sacred and only for the gods. After this Zeus had Prometheus punished by chaining the Titan to a rock and having vultures pluck at his kidneys forever. A punishment which was carried out on Zeus' behalf by Bia and Kratos, who carried the rock and chained Prometheus to it. Prometheus however would be freed by the demi-god hero, Heracles many years later.
