The ancient Greek state existed for several thousand years, the history of this world is rich in events, inventions and discoveries that are fateful for mankind. Much that is now familiar to us was invented in this country: the foundations of medicine, politics, astrology, philosophy and literature. And the images of the gods, the stories of their lives and the struggle for power are still present in one way or another in the culture of all countries. Most people can easily answer what gods lived on Olympus, who were the titans or cyclops.
The first ideas about the world
The whole mythology of the ancient Greeks is a desire to understand and explain the phenomena of nature. The gods of Mount Olympus known to most of us - Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Ares, Artemis, Apollo and others - were already the embodiment of the ideas of the later period of Greece's existence. At a time when statehood was already formed among the people, comfortable cities appeared, science and thought developed.
But in the so-called dark times, during the period of the Aegean civilization, man was still completely dependent on the whims of nature, they worshiped her, tried to appease her with offerings and sacrifices. According to researchers, it was at this time that myths about the origin of the world were born. The basis of belief is stories about Chaos, the universe from which everything came: light and darkness, and the first goddess of the earth Gaia, and the ruler of the sky - Uranus. Some begin to get confused here in history, forgetting who the titans are, and identifying them with the rest.
Six brothers
In fact, this is not at all the case. Titans are the children of Uranus and Gaia, the gods of the second generation. The images of these first monsters were far from the aesthetic perfection that we are used to seeing in literature. Ancient Greece... The Six Giant Brothers were the embodiment of human fears, terrifying.
In fact, who are the titans, from Ancient Greek mythology difficult to understand unequivocally. Thanks to the writings of Homer, Hesiod, the tragedies of Aeschylus, we know their names and scope.
- The ocean is the ruler of the world's rivers, personifying the element of water.
- Kei (Koy) is a god who embodies the axis of the sky.
- Krios is Astrea's father.
- Iapetus - according to one version, the progenitor of the Aryan tribe, his sons were Atlas and Prometheus.
- Hyperion is the sun god, the father of Helios.
- Kronos is the main titan. Greece - ancient country, its history cannot be understood without knowledge of traditions, customs, culture, and a huge layer of the latter is mythology, legends and legends, including about this character. There are several options for identifying it. Most likely, he is identified with time - chronos. Father of the first Olympians.
Six sisters
In addition to the male gods, Gaia and Uranus gave birth to the same number of Titanids who were destined to become the wives of their brothers:
- Tefida. In their marriage with Ocean, three thousand sons were born - these are rivers, and the same number of daughters. Later in literature, it acquired the meaning of one of the epithets of the ocean.
- Rhea is the mother of the Olympian gods, at the same time the sister and wife of Kronos.
- Theia is the wife of Hyperion, the ruler of the night star. In the union of the Sun and the Moon, Helios, Eos and Selena appeared.
- Themis is traditionally considered the patroness of truth, justice and observance of the law.
- Mnemosyne - memory, personified with the universal understanding of life, the parent of nine Muses.
- Phoebe is the wife of Koy, the mother of Leto and Asteria.
War
All gods were distinguished by one essential feature - the struggle for power. Great Uranus saw in the offspring a threat to himself and his sole rule, and therefore decided to cast the offspring back into the earth. What their mother, Gaia, opposed. To protect the children, she persuaded the youngest son of Kronos to take a sickle and emasculate his murderous father.
From this story, it is easy to understand who the titans are for this is a symbol of the victory of the new over the old, in a word, the triumph of progress.
Moreover, this practice of inheriting the world continued with the gods of the third generation. As noted earlier, the host of Olympic rulers is already a more mature attempt to understand the surrounding reality among the Greeks.
Like his father Uranus, Kronos, having become king, did not want to give up the rule to anyone, therefore he swallowed all the children born by his sister Rhea immediately after their birth. The mother managed to save one of her sons - Zeus. He was raised secretly from his parent on the island of Crete. Coming into force, new god planned to turn the cruel king.
Knowing who the titans are and how dangerous they are, Zeus called for help from all his brothers and sisters, whom he freed from the womb of Kronos. For ten years there was a battle for power over the world, the future head of Olympus emerged victorious, and the old titan was overthrown to Tartarus.
Incarnation in art
The history of the struggle of three generations of ancient gods is described in the epic of the unknown author "Titanomachy", this work itself has not reached our days, but according to some sources its content has been partially restored. During the classical period of Greece's development, many famous writers and poets reproduced certain traditions in their books.
In the Middle Ages, a whole cult of worship of ancient Greek history and mythology was formed in Europe. Hundreds of authors around the world were looking for inspiration in the legends of this country, there are an endless number of performance options, assumptions about who the gods, cyclops, giants, what titans are.
Now the legends of Ancient Greece are experiencing a new round of popularity. Dozens of films on this subject are filmed around the world every year.
The richness of images and pictures of the special beliefs of the Greek people somewhat overshadow the more ancient myths, perhaps now not everyone knows who the titans are, and it is they who are the beginning of the history of this amazing imaginary world.
War of the Titans (War of the Gods) (Ancient Greek Myth)
For a long time, the great and powerful Cronus, the god of Time, reigned in the world, and people called his kingdom the golden age. The first people were just born on Earth then, and they lived without knowing any worries. The Blessed Land itself fed them. She gave bountiful harvests. Bread grew by itself in the fields, wonderful fruits ripened in the orchards. People only had to collect them, and they worked as much as they could and wanted.
But Crohn himself was not calm. Long ago, when he was just beginning to reign, his mother, the goddess Gaia, predicted to him that he, too, would lose power. And one of his sons will take it away from Crohn. Here Kron was worried. After all, everyone who has power wants to reign as long as possible.
Kron also did not want to lose power over the world. And he commanded his wife, the goddess Rhea, to bring him her children as soon as they were born. And the father mercilessly swallowed them. Reya's heart was breaking with grief and suffering, but she could not help it. It was impossible to persuade Crohn. So he has already swallowed five of his children. Another child was soon to be born, and the goddess Rhea, in despair, turned to her parents, Gaia and Uranus.
“Help me save my last baby,” she pleaded with tears. - You are wise and all-powerful, tell me what to do to me, where to hide my dear son so that he can grow up and avenge such atrocity.
The immortal gods took pity on their beloved daughter and taught her how to act. And so Rhea brings Rhea to her husband, the ruthless Cronus, a long stone wrapped in swaddling clothes.
“Here is your son Zeus,” she told him sadly. - He was just born. Do what you want with him.
Cronus grabbed the bundle and swallowed it without unwrapping it. In the meantime, the delighted Rhea took her little son, made her way to Dikta in a black dead night and hid him in an inaccessible cave on the wooded Aegean Mountain.
There, on the island of Crete, he grew up surrounded by kind and cheerful demons-kurets. They played with little Zeus, brought him milk from the sacred goat Amalfea. And when he cried, the demons began to clatter their spears against the shields, danced and drowned out his cry with loud cries. They were very afraid that the cruel Cronus would hear the cry of the child and realize that he had been deceived. And then no one will be able to save Zeus.
But Zeus grew very quickly, his muscles were filled with extraordinary strength, and soon the time came when he, mighty and all-powerful, decided to fight his father and take away his power over the world. Zeus turned to the Titans and invited them to fight with him against Crohn.
And a great dispute broke out among the titans. Some decided to stay with Crohn, others sided with Zeus. Filled with courage, they were eager to fight. But Zeus stopped them. At first, he wanted to free his brothers and sisters from his father's womb, so that only later he would fight with them against Crohn. But how do you get Crohn to let his children go? Zeus understood that by force alone he could not defeat the mighty god. We need to think of something to outwit him.
Then the great titan Ocean came to his aid, who in this struggle was on the side of Zeus. His daughter, the wise goddess Thetis, prepared magic potion and brought it to Zeus.
“O mighty and all-powerful Zeus,” she told him, “this miraculous nectar will help you free your brothers and sisters. Just make Crohn drink it.
Cunning Zeus figured out how to do it. He sent Cronus a luxurious amphora with nectar as a gift, and Cronus, suspecting nothing, accepted this insidious gift. He happily drank the magic nectar and immediately vomited out of himself, first a stone wrapped in diapers, and then all his children. One after another they came out into the world, and his daughters, the beautiful goddesses Hestia, Demeter, Hera, and sons - Hades and Poseidon. During the time they were sitting in the womb of their father, they became quite adults.
All the children of Cronus united, and a long and terrible war began between them and their father Cronus for power over all people and gods. New gods established themselves on Olympus. From here they fought their great battle.
Omnipotent and formidable were the young gods, the mighty titans supported them in this struggle. Cyclops forged for Zeus formidable thunderous thunder and fiery lightning. But on the other hand, there were powerful opponents. The mighty Cronus was not at all going to give his power to the young gods and also gathered around him formidable titans.
This terrible and cruel battle of the gods lasted ten years. No one could win, but no one wanted to surrender either. Then Zeus decided to call for the help of the mighty hundred-armed giants who were still sitting in a deep and gloomy dungeon. Huge terrible giants came to the surface of the Earth and rushed into battle. They tore off entire rocks from mountain ranges and hurled them at the Titans besieging Olympus. The air was torn to pieces by the wild roar, the Earth moaned in pain, and even the distant Tartarus shuddered from what was happening above. From the heights of Olympus, Zeus threw down fiery lightning, and everything around was blazing with a terrible flame, the water in the rivers and seas boiled with heat.
Finally the titans wavered and retreated. The Olympians fettered them and threw them into gloomy Tartarus, into the deaf, eternal darkness. And at the gates of Tartarus, formidable hundred-armed giants stood guard so that the mighty titans could never break free from their terrible captivity.
But the young gods did not have to celebrate the victory. The goddess Gaia was angry with Zeus for treating her titan sons so cruelly. In punishment, she gave birth to the terrible monster Typhon and sent him to Zeus.
The Earth itself shuddered, and huge mountains rose up when the huge Typhon crawled out into the light. All his hundred dragon heads howled, howled, barked, shouted at different voices. Even the gods flinched with horror when they saw such a monster. Only Zeus was not taken aback. He swung his mighty right hand - and hundreds of fiery lightning struck Typhon. Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed with unbearable brilliance, water boiled in the seas - real hell was happening on Earth at that time.
But then the lightning, sent by Zeus, reached the goal, and one after another the head of Typhon flashed with a bright flame. He collapsed heavily onto the wounded Earth. Zeus raised a huge monster and threw it into Tartarus. But even there Typhon did not calm down. From time to time he begins to rampage in his eerie dungeon, and then terrible earthquakes happen, cities collapse, mountains split, fierce storms sweep all living things off the face of the earth. True, now Typhon's rampage is already short-lived, he will throw out his wild powers - and will calm down for a while, and again everything on earth and in heaven goes on as usual.
This is how the great battle of the gods ended, after which new gods reigned in the world.

The main deities of Ancient Greece: 12 Olympian gods, their assistants and companions
The main gods in Ancient Hellas were recognized as those who belonged to the younger generation of celestials. Once it took away the power over the world from the older generation, who personified the main universal forces and elements (see about this in the article The Origin of the Gods of Ancient Greece). The gods of the older generation are usually called titans... Having defeated the titans, the younger gods, led by Zeus, settled on Mount Olympus. Ancient Greeks honored 12 Olympian gods. Their list usually included Zeus, Hera, Athena, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Poseidon, Ares, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hermes, Hestia. Hades is also close to the Olympian gods, but he does not live on Olympus, but in his underground kingdom.

Six daughters: Tefida(Water), Theia(Shine), Rhea(Mother Mountain?), Themis (Justice), Mnemosyne(Memory), Phoebe.

The Cyclops and Hecatoncheires were so powerful that Uranus himself was horrified by their power.

The presence of these giants in the womb of the earth began to cause her terrible suffering. Gaia persuaded her youngest son, Crohn, to take revenge on his father, Uranus.

YMIR AND THE WORLD BEYOND:
★ the origin of the Giants
★ Great War of the Giants
★ world outside the walls
★ Titan Progenitor strength and Coordinate
★ Invasion targets Bertolt Hoover, Reiner Brown, Annie Leonhart
Everyone remembers how the first season of the series began? From the fact that Eren's friend Armin Arlet is teased for his belief that there is life beyond the walls. And in fact - it is.
The history of the emergence of Reasonable Giants, begins with Ymir Fritz... A young girl of royal blood makes a deal with a demon, gaining power from him Giant Ancestor... The power of Ymir was so great that with his help Eldia was able to capture another country - Marley.
But after the death of Ymir Fritz, her power was divided between 9 Giants then formed Held Empire... For many centuries, the Eldian Empire waged war with Marlia, almost completely destroying her nation and taking over the entire continental continent. The Held Empire has resorted to genocide against Marlya on more than one occasion.
One of the 9 Titans could have possessed "Coordinate", a special power that allowed you to control not only the Titans, but also the memory of people. Soon, strife broke out in the country. The power of Ymir was transferred from ruler to ruler, until it passed to To the 145th King of the Fritz family who inherited the power of the Titan Progenitor. He is the First King.
From greed and a desire to rule alone, the First King transfers the capital of the state to the island Paradis, not caring at all about maintaining order in Eldia, which his ancestors had been doing for centuries.
The previously oppressed Marlians begin to rebel against the Eldians, thereby starting The great war Titans... Marliya manages to capture 7 of the 9 Giants from Eldia and thereby turn the tide of the war in her favor. To protect himself, the First King, using the power of Coordinate, controls the Colossal Giants, arranging them in three rings, thereby forming three walls: Maria, Rose, Shina.
The First King declared to the rulers Marli that if they tried to continue the war, he would use the power of Coordinate and release the Titans from the walls. The king erased the memory of all the inhabitants outside the walls, replacing it with the knowledge that the whole world outside the walls was captured by the Giants and there are no more surviving people besides them. The only ones who are not subject to manipulation with consciousness are Asians and the Ackerman family.
Marlya, in itself, is a very developed country: electricity, cars, houses and all kinds of technical equipment, all this allows you to surpass the Eldians. But under the island of Paradis there is a huge reserve of fossils and, on reflection, the government of Marlia sends its soldiers beyond the walls, in order to capture Coordinates: Bertolt Hoover, Rainer Braun, Annie Leonhart and Marcel(which was eaten by Ymir).
WHO ARE TITANES?
Once upon a time, before the start of the main events of the series, a project was founded "Destruction of Humanity"... Titans were created by project participants from ordinary people. There is known way transforming into an unreasonable Giant. It is enough to inject a person with the Titan's cerebrospinal fluid to transform him. But it remains questionable how Connie Springer's mother became a Giant.WHERE DID THE SANE TITANES COME FROM?
You and I now know that all Titans are humans. Transformation into a sentient Giant is similar to transformation into an unreasonable one. To obtain the powers of a sentient Titan and the ability to return to human form, it is necessary to devour the owner of the power of a sentient Giant. For example, Grisha Yeager- Eren's father, transferred his power to his son, turning him into an unreasonable Giant and allowing himself to be eaten. It is not necessary to absorb the whole person. Enough to eat it cerebrospinal fluid... The very origin of the Giants dates back to antiquity and Ymir Fritz, who was the first human giant. WHY TITANIUM WALLS?
The 145th King of the Fritz family, aka the First King, erected three walls: Mary, Rose and Sheena, for the safety of his people. By resorting to force Ancestor Titan The 145th King ordered them to line up in a colony, covering themselves with armor. In the event of an outside attack, the First King will awaken the Titans from the walls using Coordinate.BREAST-LIKE GIANT - WHO IS HE?
Zeke Yeager- he is the general of the Marlia squad, represented by Bertolt Hoover, Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart and Marcel, who were sent behind the walls to capture Coordinates. He is a Hairy, Beast-like Giant and part-time brother of Eren, from Grisha Yeager and Dina Fritz (Grisha's first wife). WHAT'S IN EREN'S BASEMENT?
This is a question many Invasion of Giants fans are interested in - what's in Eren Yeager's basement? In his basement, Eren's father hid three books. One of them contains a photograph of Grisha, Dina and their son Zika. On the back there is a note that humanity, outside the walls, is not extinct. Books, most likely, on the history of the world and Marliya separately.SOME GUESSES AND MY ASSUMPTIONS:
Let me make a few assumptions. I want to warn you that they do not have an accurate justification and you have every right not to rely on them as reliable information.What did Ymir read on the canned food can that made Rainer surprised?
Everyone remembers the episode of the second season of the anime, where the scouting party is at Utgarde Castle? Ymir reads "unknown letters" on a can of canned food. Ymir was born and lived for a long time in Marliya, before she was injected with serum and thrown off the wall. It is likely that a separate written language is developed in Marliya and Rainer realized that the girl knows too much.
Why do they need Christa (History)?
The power of the Giants has been passed down from generation to generation. Frida Reiss is History's half-sister and the last carrier of Coordinate. Probably, the Marli people believed that it was Frida's sister who got the Coordinate.
FACTS:
★ Every Giant Man is given 13 years of life, after which his strength begins to fade, and the person himself dies. That is why power is transmitted.★ The anime's official website mentioned that Ymir is in love with Christa... And also George Wada at Animagic 2014 confirmed that Ymir and Krista are a couple.
★ Grisha's first wife - Dina Fritz being an unreasonable Giant, she ate Eren's mother - the real, at that time, wife of Grisha.

Perhaps someone already knows this from the manga, but for someone it will be a revelation. Anyway, thank you for your attention and reading. And fewer anime spoilers!
Titans Titans
(Titanes, Τιτα̃νες). Children of Uranus and Gaia - six sons and six daughters. They fought with Zeus for the possession of the sky, but were defeated by him with the help of Cyclops and hundred-handed giants and thrown into Tartarus.
(A source: " Concise vocabulary mythology and antiquities ". M. Korsh. St. Petersburg, publication of A.S.Suvorin, 1894.)
TITANES(Τιτάνες), in Greek mythology, the gods of the first generation, born of the earth of Gaia and the sky of Uranus; their six brothers (Ocean, Coy, Crius, Hyperion, Iapet, Kronos) and six titanid sisters (Tephida, Phoebe, Mnemosyne, Theia, Themis, Rhea), who married each other and gave birth to a new generation of gods: Prometheus, Helios, muses. Leto et al. (Hes. Theog. 132-138). The name T., possibly associated with the heat of the sun or dominion, is of pre-Greek origin. The youngest of T. Kronos at the instigation of Gaea's mother, he castrated Uranus with a sickle in order to stop his endless fertility (154-182), and took the place of the supreme god among T. Born from Kronos and Rhea, Zeus, in turn, was destined to deprive his father of power and become the head of a new generation of gods - Olympians (453-457). T. (except for the Ocean) set out from the Ophri mountain; the gods born of Kronos and Rhea - from Olympus (hence their name Olympians); the battle (titanomachy) between T. and the Olympians lasted ten years, until Zeus came to the aid of hundred-handed. The defeated T. were thrown into tartarus, where a hundred-handed (629-735) became their guards.
T. are archaic gods who personified the elements of nature with all its catastrophes. T. do not know rationality, orderliness and measure, their tool is brute force. Therefore, they do not listen to the advice of Prometheus and Gaia-Themis in order to get along with Zeus by cunning (Aeschyl. Prom. 199-213). The primitive savagery of T. is giving way to the heroism and wise harmony of the cosmos of the Olympic period in Greek mythology; this process reflected the struggle of the pre-Greek gods of the Balkan substratum with the new gods of the Greek tribes invading from the north.

TitansArchaic gods of the first generation (pre-Olympic), born of Gaia and Uranus. Six brothers: Ocean, Coy (Kei), Kriy, Hyperion, Iapet, Kronos. Six titanid sisters: Tephida, Phoebe, Mnemosyne, Theia, Themis, Rhea. They got married and gave birth to a new, third, generation of gods. When Kronos was overthrown by Zeus, they stood up to protect their brother, but after the Titanomachy, a ten-year struggle with Zeus and other younger Olympian gods, they were defeated, shackled and cast down on the advice of Prometheus into the gloomy Tartarus. Subsequently, they reconciled with Zeus and submitted to him, recognizing his power, for which they were released by him. In later myths, titans are mixed with giants. Titans also included: Atlas ?, Pallas ?, Prometheus? and etc.
