Greek Mythology is among the most famous and well known of the Ancient Mythologies. It stretches back millenia and has intrigued man with its fantastical stories and unusual beasts. This book will serve as a detailed reference to all things in Greek Mythology, including a bestiary of Greek mythological creatures such as the centaur and nymph and a collection of Greek stories.

The Titans, often called as the Elder Gods, are the children of Uranus (Ορανος) . Their role/function was to oppose the gods run by Zeus and the other Olympians. They are not simply big gods. That role is for the Gigantes who came out of a god's blood. The Titans were involved in epic wars, many of which have been written about. Some sons of Titans include important gods like Prometheus and Atlas.
