Titanomachy

The mythic war in which Zeus and the Olympian gods defeat the Titans and establish a new divine order.

Hesiod: An early Greek poet traditionally credited with the Theogony and Works and Days. His Theogony preserves the most detailed ancient narrative of the Titanomachy.
Zeus: The Greek god who rules the sky and becomes king of the gods. He leads the Olympians against the Titans and claims sovereignty after their defeat.
Olympus: The mountain in Greece regarded in myth as the home of the Olympian gods. It becomes the emblematic seat of the victorious gods’ rule.
Gigantes: The Giants of Greek mythology, born from Gaia and opponents of the Olympian gods. They are the foes in the Gigantomachy, not the Titans of this war.
Greek mythology: The body of myths and religious stories associated with ancient Greek gods, heroes, and origins. The war belongs to Greek mythic accounts of divine origins and succession.
Cyclopes: One-eyed beings in Greek myth, including smiths who forge Zeus’s thunderbolt. Zeus frees them from imprisonment, and they equip him with weapons for the war.
Divine kingship: Sovereignty exercised by a god and grounded in divine authority. The war narrates Zeus’s acquisition of rule over gods and cosmos.
Typhonomachy: The mythic battle in which Zeus defeats the monster Typhon and secures his rule. It is a separate challenge to Zeus’s kingship, occurring after the Titan conflict in Hesiod’s account.
Ouranos: The Greek primordial personification of the sky and father of the Titans. His overthrow by Cronus begins the succession of generations that leads to the war.
Hecatoncheires: Three hundred-handed giants in Greek mythology, also called the Hundred-Handers. Their release turns the tide by giving Zeus powerful allies against the Titans.
