Greeks of the Classical Age knew of several poems about the war between the gods and many of the Titans. The dominant one, and the only one that has survived, is the Theogony attributed to Hesiod. A lost epic, Titanomachia, attributed to the blind Thracian bard Thamyris, himself a legendary figure, was mentioned in passing in an essay On Music that was once attributed to Plutarch. The Titans also played a prominent role in the poems attributed to Orpheus. Although only scraps of the Orphic narratives survive, they show interesting differences from the Hesiodic tradition.

  • "The war between the Titans and the Olympians forged the landscape of the mortal world. It was a war that we knew the Titans must win. If we lost, it would put an end to the golden age of the Titan rule. Peace and prosperity for mankind would be no more." - Atlas The Titanomachy, also called The Great War, is the name of the battle between the gods and the Titans.
  • The Titanomachy or the Great War, as it is referred to in the God of War Series, is the fabled war between the Titans and the Olympians.
  • The Titanomachy, or War of the Titans (Greek: Τιτανομαχία), was a ten-year-long series of battles fought in Thessaly between the Titans and the Olympians after Zeus freed his siblings from his father, Cronus. It is also known as Titanomachia, Battle of the Titans, Battle of Gods, or just The Titan War. The Titans were led by Cronus' nephew Atlas rather than Cronus himself during the war. Oceanus and the Titanesses didn't participate in the war and kept their posts as gods and goddesses. The Titans were based on the mountain Mount Othrys which was assaulted by the Olympians.
