A son of Uranus and Gaea (Heaven and Earth), Lord of the Titans, and Ruler of the Universe in beginning times. The father of many of the Olympian Divinities, He swallowed them all as infants, rather than permit one to supplant him as he had supplanted his father. One of his progeny, Zeus, was hidden from him and did, in fact, overthrow his rule and force him to disgorge his other offspring.
