The Titans are the children of Gaea and Ouranos. They ruled before the Olympians did. They lived on Mount Othrys.

The Olympians are some of the children of the Titans and some of the children of Zeus. The twelve Olympians are Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares and Dionysus. They live on Mount Olympus.

The Titans ruled the Cosmos before Man was created (since Man was a creation of Zeus through Prometheus). They represented the broader and more wild aspects of nature. For example, Okeanos and Tethys represented the world ocean and the dangers of the seas. Hyperion and Theia represented shining light. Etc.

The transition from the Titans to the Olympians in a cultural sense reflects the influence that expanding contact with the Near East had on ancient Greece.

How do the Titans relate to the Olympians?

Mythologically speaking, Olympians were the descendants of Titans. Gods of Olympians were the next generation. Like Zeus's father, Kronos. And Apollo, Artemis mother, Leto, a Titanesse, through Zeus, and so on. Most of the Olympians were Zeus's son or daughter. Except Aphrodite (Piece of Ouranous which fell to sea), Hephaestus (Hera alone), Demeter & Hestia (Zeus's Sister).

What is the order of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books?

1. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif. 2. Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. 3. Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse. 4. Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth. 5. Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian. After this, the series ends and a new one begins, which is Heroes of Olympus. It still involves Percy Jackson and his friends, but there are a bunch of new characters and it involves a fair bit of Roman mythology aswell. It follows a new story line, with a whole new threat. (No longer is Kronos the threat.) There are two out in the Heroes of Olympus series as far as I know: 1. Heroes of Olympus: the Lost Hero. 2. Heroes of Olympus: the Son of Neptune. Hope that helped!
