The Titans were 6 gods: Cronus, Coeus, Crius, Iapetus, Hyperion and Oceanus, sons of Uranus (the sky) and Gaia (the earth), who ruled the world before the Olympians came to power.
When Uranus was King he imprisoned 6 giant brothers of the Titans in the belly of the earth. This caused Gaia much pain, so she persuaded her Titan sons to rebel against their father. Led by Cronus, all but Oceanus laid an ambush for Uranus, seizing him as he descended to lay upon earth. Four of them were posted to the 4 corners of the earth to hold Uranus, while Cronus castrated him with a sickle. Once they had seized control of the universe, the Titans released their giant brothers, only to lock them away in the pit of Tartarus a short time later.
Uranus and Gaia prophesied that a son of Cronus would eventually depose the Titan king, so Cronus, in fear for his throne, took to devouring each of his offspring as soon as they were born. Zeus, however, escaped this fate when his mother Rhea hid him in a cave on the island of Crete and deceived Cronus by giving him a rock wrapped in cloth, which he swallowed, believing it to be his newborn son.
When Zeus had grown up he availed himself of the assistance of Metis, daughter of Oceanus, who gave Cronus a potion that forced him to vomit the stone and the children he had swallowed. Reunited with his siblings, Zeus declared war on Cronus and the ruling Titans. The Titans occupied Mount Othrys, the sons of Cronus occupied Mount Olympus. The war lasted 10 years, when Gaia at last promised victory to Zeus if he would deliver the Cyclops and Hecatoncheires from Tartarus. Zeus accordingly killed Campe, who guarded the Cyclops, and the Cyclops thanked him with the gift of thunder and lightning. Pluto gave Zeus a helmet, Poseidon gave Zeus a trident.
The Titans were then overcome, and thrown into the pit of Tartarus, where they were guarded by the Hecatoncheires, and Zeus took his place on Olympus as king of the gods.
