The Titans in Greek mythology are primordial beings who preceded the Olympian gods, representing various aspects of nature and human experience. Key figures like Cronus and Rhea symbolize themes of power and succession, as their reign and eventual overthrow by Zeus highlight the transition from chaos to order. Their legacy includes the foundational myths that inform Greek cosmology and emphasize the cyclical nature of power struggles. The Titans embody the struggle against divine authority and the complexity of relationships within the pantheon, influencing later interpretations of deity and human nature.
