Titans and Titanesses were Gods. Just like Olympians were Gods and Primordials were Gods. Homer, Hesiod, and a load of other ancient Greek storytellers reference them all as Gods several times. People confuse this a lot for some reason. Not all Gods were Titans - but all Titans were Gods.

Small quick correction: there are two gods named Cronus. The titan you talk about was Kronos (Crow-no-s), titan of the harvest, which makes the sickle make more sense. The other was Cronus (Craw-niss) god of time, this is where we get the Latin root word “Chrono” meaning passing of time.

the naratoring and storytelling is immaculate

[@MrBrant23]

Wow this is so different from how i heard these stories before. Never new both Zues and Posidon didn't get eaten, nor did i know about the war, that they got their weapons/power from their uncles.

[@Gal2100]

I think its different for every story

[@MrBrant23]

@@Gal2100 true and that is why i love all Mythology/religion. Its all just constants and variables.

it’s so cool to have seen the painting in person

Nothing to do with the vid but lately I've been obsessed with the Saturn Devouring his son painting by Francisco Goya because it's just a really interesting painting and Spanish flu ... crazy... and the history

[@pluto6383]

I’ve never been obsessed with the painting, but if we’re talking about the most famous object named after the devourer, that I’ve been obsessed with for many, many years.

me: reads title also me who is a hellenic polytheist: i think i know where this about to go

[@runicspyder]

Same. I held my breath unconsciously when they mentioned Hades thinking they were gonna equate him to the devil or some other such horseshit. Pleasantly surprised they didn't. :) although they did get a couple details wrong if you follow the main version of the myth :) still a great video!

[@kaet.mp3]

there’s a song about this mythology. “That Happy Child”

[@Infectedwithrabies]

That’s what I came from

Thanks for the suggestion. Just subscribed and I’m in love 🥰

It’s crazy how similar every culture is when it comes to creation 😮 even people from across the world that have never met, have similarities. Very very interesting and makes you question things

[@Ember_Lumen5]

Not anything special. Doesn’t take a genius to question existence and it doesn’t mean anyone is right about any of it.

HEEEEHEEEE

[@clairvaux8459]

The number of comments saying that he's a Titan and not a god... Guys, please. Titans ARE gods. Olympians are also gods. The only difference is that Titans are pre-Olympian gods, meaning they predate the era and rule of the Olympians.

[@metal_cheetos]

The thumbnail is a picture of the French, Tarrare. He join the military and then was sent to a hospital where he supposedly ate a 4 month old newborn.

[@meshuggah5292]

Cronos wasn't a God, he was a titan

[@aaaaaa1955]

I'm pretty sure he was both

[@wa6280]

I actually wrote a paper on this recently. Maternal intervention was vital to the usurption of power, and by Zeus consuming Metis, he was able to eliminate maternal intervention and rule for eternity.

[@danaekoloka9819]

I'm Greek lol didn't expect mythology on this channel 🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@guesstime6445]

Apparently that painting (the one used for the thumbnail) was never meant to be seen. It was only until he died people found the painting. Though I got that information form Internet Historian so I could be wrong
