太古の昔、神々と人間とはまだ世界の主としてはっきり分かれてはおらず、巨人族と呼ばれるティタンたちが大地を歩き回っていたと伝えられている。やがてゼウスが父神を倒してオリュンポスの頂に座を占め、新しい神々の時代が始まった。
In ancient times, before gods and humans had been clearly separated as the masters of the world, the giant race known as the Titans walked the earth. Eventually Zeus overthrew his father and took his place upon the heights of Olympus, and so began the age of the new gods.
