**Titans**

Beings of Greek mythology, the Titans were the children of Uranus and Gaea. They possessed enormous strength and stature.

Six Titans coupled with six sisters and begot a race of beings as fearless as they were strong.

**\*\***Atlas** or** Atlante\*\*, was a young Titan whom Zeus condemned to carry on his shoulders the pillars that kept the earth separated from the heavens (the Celestial vault).
