TITANS

- were the deities in Greek mythology that preceded the Olympians. They were the children
of the primordial deities Uranus (heaven) and Gaea (earth).

1. Mnemosyne – She is the goddess of memory. “Mnemosyne” is derived from the

same source as the word mnemonic, that being the Greek word mnēmē, which
means “remembrance, memory”. Mnemosyne is the mother of the nine Muses.

2. Tethis – She mainly appears as a sea nymph, a goddess of water, or one of the 50
Nereids, daughters of the ancient sea god Nereus.

3. Theia – was the Titan goddess of sight (thea) and the shining ether of the bright,
blue sky (aithre). She was also, by extension, the goddess who endowed gold and
silver with their brilliance and intrinsic value.

4. Phoebe – Given the meaning of her name and her association with the Delphic
oracle, Phoebe was perhaps seen as the Titan goddess of prophecy and oracular
intellect.

5. Rheia –was the Titanis (Titaness) mother of the gods, and goddess of female
fertility, motherhood, and generation.

6. Themis – She is described as “the Lady of good counsel”, and is the personification
of divine order, fairness, law, natural law, and custom. Her symbols are the Scales of
Justice, tools used to remain balanced and pragmatic.

7. Oceanus – was the Titan god of the river Okeanos, which was believed to encircle
the world and connect the earth to the heavens and the underworld.

8. Hyperion – was the Titan god of heavenly light, one of the sons of Ouranos (Uranus,
Heaven) and Gaia (Gaea, Earth), and the father of the lights of heaven--Eos the
Dawn, Helios the Sun, and Selene the Moon.

9. Coeus – is the Titan God of the North, and the Titan of Resolve and Intelligence as
well as the embodiment of the celestial axis around which the heavens revolve.

10. Kronos – was the King of the Titans and the god of time, in particular time when
viewed as a destructive, all-devouring force.

11. Crius – was a Titan god of heavenly constellations and was also known as a Pillar of
the south pole.

12. Iapetus – was a Titan god of mortal life span and Pillar of the west.
 OLYMPIANS

- Were the major deities who Ancient Greeks believed in.

1. Aphrodite- is the Olympian goddess of love, beauty, sexual pleasure, and fertility.

2. Zeus- is the Olympian god of the sky and the thunder, the king of all other gods
and men, and, consequently, the chief figure in Greek mythology.

3. Hera- is the wife of Zeus, the Queen of Olympus, and the Olympian goddess of
marriage.

4. Poseidon- is the violent and ill-tempered god of the sea. One of the
Twelve Olympians, he was also feared as the provoker of earthquakes and
worshipped as the creator of the horse.

5. Demeter- the middle daughter of Cronus and Rhea, was the Ancient Greek goddess
of grain and agriculture, one of the original Twelve Olympians.

6. Athena- is the Olympian goddess of wisdom and war and the adored patroness of
the city of Athens.

7. Apollo- is the Olympian god of the sun and light, music and poetry, healing and
plagues, prophecy and knowledge, order and beauty, archery and agriculture.

8. Artemis- is the Olympian goddess of the hunt, the moon, and chastity; in time, she
also became associated with childbirth and nature.

9. Ares- is the Olympian god of war. However, unlike Athena, he represents merely its
destructive capacity and is typically the personification of sheer violence and
brutality.

10. Hephaestus- is the god of blacksmiths and fire. Called “the celestial artificer,” he
was also associated with other craftsmen (sculptors, carpenters, metalworkers) and,
as evident in the name of his Roman counterpart Vulcan, with volcanoes.

11. Hermes- is the winged herald and messenger of the Olympian gods. In addition, he
is also a divine trickster, and the god of roads, flocks, commerce, and thieves.

12. Hestia- is the Greek goddess of the hearth, one of the original Twelve Olympians.
Consequently, at a later stage, she would be replaced in the Pantheon with the
much wilder Dionysus.

13. Dionysus- was the god of fertility and wine, later considered a patron of the arts.
