In Greek mythology, the term "Titan" refers to the divine beings preceding the Olympian gods. Titans are a race of powerful, giant deities who ruled during the Golden Age before being overthrown by the Olympians in a great conflict known as the Titanomachy. Key Titans include Cronus, who led the rebellion against Uranus, and Rhea, mother of gods such as Zeus. The Titans symbolize primordial forces of nature and the cyclical nature of power, embodying both creation and destruction in the mythological narrative.
