There were 12 original Titans: the brothers Coeus, Crius, Cronus , Hyperion, Iapetus, and Oceanus, and the sisters Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Rhea , Tethys, Thea, and Themis. Encouraged by Gaea, the Titans rebelled against their father. Cronus deposed Uranus by castrating him, and became king himself.

Zeus and his siblings finally won after 10 years, and Zeus imprisoned the Titans in a cavity below Tartarus .
