Best Answer

The gods and goddesses that exited before the Titans were called the Protogenoi, but they weren't organized the way the Titans and Olympians were, and many of those gods and goddesses were still recognized by the ancients as relevant. They were:

Chaos - the Void

Erebus - Darkness

Nyx - Night

Aether - Light

Hemera - Day

Gaea - Earth

Uranus - Heavens

Ourea - Mountains

Pontus - Sea (male)

Tartarus - underground

Eros - Procreation

Ananke - Compulsion

Chronos - Time

Phanes - Appearance

Phusis - Nature

Nesoi - Islands

Thalassa - Sea (female)
