The Titans

Gaia, the mother of Titans.

The Titans were giants who live a million years earlier than human, in Greek myths. Some Titans are human like, while the others have animal’s characteristic. The Titans are the children of the sky god, Oranus (in some legend, he was named ‘Uranus’) and the god of the land, Gaia. Zeus was given birth by them too.

Almost all Titans like battle, except Prometheus. He was the Titan who taught human how to use fire and build stone houses. But this is only a Greek tale; historical record told us that human discovered fire themselves.

The Titans have many generations; it was mainly divided into two parts:

• The generation before Zeus;

• And the generation after Zeus.

Almost all Titans after Zeus become gods; some Titan even shares the same ‘occupation’ with Greek god. Like Helios the Titan is same with Apollo the sun god, they both guard the sun.

Titan, however, with his own huge body, didn’t live on earth. They also live in the Heaven above Mount Olympus. Some wonders are built in the Titan’s honor, for example, the great Colossus of Rhodes. But this wonder was destroyed, until now, nobody can totally proof that this thing existed.

An existence of a Titan is impossible. If a baby continues to grow with the speed when he was inside his mother’s body, the Titan maybe exist. This baby will grow until 2km, but this isn’t enough to reach the height of a Titan.
