The TITANS ruled the world after having dethroned their father Uranus, who was the first ruler of the universe. It was their mother Gaia who persuaded them to attack their father and overthrow him; for she grieved at the destruction of her children, the CYLOPES and the HECATONCHEIRES, who had been cast into Tartarus by Uranus. The Titan Cronos then, ambushed his father and castrated him with a sickle, being himself appointed by the TITANS to be their sovereign. However, once in power, Cronos acted like his father and again shut the CYLOPES and the HECATONCHEIRES up in Tartarus.
And since both Gaia and Uranus foretold to Cronos that he would be dethroned by his own son, he decided to swallow his children as they were born [see Titanomachy ]. But Zeus escaped and, leading the OLYMPIANS, he waged war against the TITANS taking the CYLOPES and the HECATONCHEIRES, whom he liberated, as allies. This is how Cronos was dethroned and shut up, along with the other TITANS, in Tartarus. But later Zeus gave them their freedom again.

Daedalion was a cruel ruler that delighted in war was. Yet, when his daughter Chione 2 (or perhaps Philonis?) died he could not find consolation, and kept ever bewailing his lost child. So finally he gained Mount Parnassus and hurled himself from its top. But Apollo turned him into a hawk.
Epimetheus. It is said that when the time arrived for mortal creatures to be created, the gods, after moulding their forms, charged Prometheus 1 and his brother Epimetheus to deal faculties to each creature. Epimetheus, they say, persuaded Prometheus 1 to let him do the dealing himself, saying that afterwards Prometheus 1 could examine what he had done. And to some creatures Epimetheus gave strength, and to others speed; some he armed and others he left unarmed, though giving them some other faculty so that they could survive. To some he gave wings, so that they could escape, and to others he gave the capacity to live underground. And while he distributed all capacities he took the precaution that no species should be extinguished. Likewise Epimetheus took into consideration the seasons, giving to all creatures the faculty of resisting both cold and heat. In similar manner he furnished each kind of creature with its proper food, so that some should feed on grass, others on fruits, and still others on creatures which they could devour.
This is how Epimetheus, lacking in wisdom, distributed all properties suited for survival among animals, leaving unequipped the race of men. Now the day had arrived for the emergence of all creatures and Prometheus 1 came to examine his brother's work. And so, noticing that Epimetheus had not devised anything for the preservation of humans, he stole wisdom in arts from Hephaestus and Athena, along with fire, so that men could exercise those crafts, and gave all these gifts to humanity.
This is why, Prometheus 1, for having corrected Epimetheus' mistake in such a way, was later accused of theft.
It is also said that Prometheus 1 had told his brother Epimetheus never to take a gift from Zeus, but Epimetheus, who did not think of what he had been told, accepted Zeus' gift (Pandora 1) and only later understood what happened. For until that time men lived free from ills, toil and sicknesses, but Pandora 1 opened a jar containing all kinds of evils and these flew out and since then they afflict mankind. Only Hope remained there.
