Who were the Titans?
Frequently called elder gods, they have been for many ages the supreme regents of the universe, with a huge size and being incredibly strong.

According to Greek mythology, the Titans were sons of Uranus (deity who personified the sky) and Gaia (Earth goddess).
Names of the Titans
Coeus:  Titan of intelligence.Oceanus: Represented the river that surrounds the world.

I chose to depict Theia the Titaness of Light and the mother of the Moon, Sun and Dawn.  Theia's mythological role as the mother of the Moon goddess Selene is alluded to in the application of the name to a hypothetical planet which, according to the giant impact hypothesis, collided with the Earth, resulting in the Moon's creation.  It's sometimes referred to as The Big Splash or The Theia Impact.
