An infographic illustrating the family tree of Greek mythology's 12 Elder Titans, offspring of primordial deities Gaia (Earth) and Ouranos (Sky), a golden race of immortal, pre-Olympian gods and their descendants. It is broadly accepted that the ancient Greeks had several poems about the origins and evolution of the cosmos. However, Hesiod's Theogony (literally meaning "Birth of the Gods" from around the 8th century BCE) seems to have been the dominant (and the only surviving) one. It tells about how the universe sprang into existence, the relationships of its parts, and how Zeus came to rule over it.
