The Titans were Greek.

In Greek Mythology Titans were a race of powerful deities descendants of Gaia and Uranus, that ruled in what is know as the legendary Golden Age.

In the first generation of twelve Titans, the males were

Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Cronus, Crius, and Lapetus and the females were Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea and Themis. The second generation of Titans consisted of Hyperion's children Eos, Helios, and Selene; Coeus's daughters Leto and Asteria; Iapetus's sons Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius; Oceanus' daughter Metis; and Crius's sons Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses.

The Titans were overthrown by a race of younger gods, the Olympians, in the Titanomachy ("War of the Titans").

This represented a mythological paradigm shift that the Greeks may have borrowed from the Ancient Near East.
