Quick Overview of the 5 Titan-Focused Scripts in this bundle:
Cronus & Oceanus: King of the Titans, Father of the Olympians
Cronus, the sickle-wielding usurper, topples Uranus and claims Greece’s Golden Age. Wed to Rhea, he devours his Olympian children but is ultimately tricked by a stone, allowing Zeus to rise. Oceanus, the river Titan, remains neutral throughout the conflict. Together, they rule until the Titanomachy casts Cronus into Tartarus, fulfilling his doom. They represent the brutal cycle of power, overtaken by fate's relentless tide.
Rhea & Tethys: The Motherly Titans
Rhea, a fierce nurturer, protects Zeus by deceiving Cronus with a stone, helping to overthrow a tyrant. Tethys, mother of rivers, shelters Hera and the young gods, ensuring their survival. As sisters born of Gaia, they balance defiance and care during the chaos of the Titanomachy. Though they fade from power, their legacy of protection shapes the dawn of Olympus.
Prometheus & Atlas: The Titan Who Defied Zeus
Prometheus, a cunning rebel, gifts fire to humanity and is punished by being chained while an eagle consumes his liver daily. Atlas, the Titan warlord, is sentenced to bear the weight of the sky for eternity. Both sons of Iapetus, they resist Olympian rule—one through intellect, the other through strength. Their suffering becomes a symbol of defiance and endurance in the face of power.
Hyperion & Theia: Titans of Celestial Light
Hyperion, sovereign of light, rebels against Uranus, fathering the radiant deities Helios, Selene, and Eos. Theia, with the gift of divine sight, foresees the rise of Zeus. As their children ascend under the new order, their own reign wanes. Though their power dims, their legacy lives on through the celestial bodies that light Greece’s skies.
Coeus & Phoebe: Titans of Knowledge & Prophecy
Coeus, master of intellect, attempts to lead a chthonic rule but is ultimately cast into Tartarus. Phoebe, gifted with prophetic vision, passes her powers to the next generation as Apollo rises. As parents of Leto and Asteria, their lineage births Apollo and Artemis, who carry forward the torch of knowledge. Though their voices fade, their wisdom echoes through Greece’s enlightened future.
