What's the ENTIRE story of the Greek gods?


Including the Titans and stuff. I really wanna know!!

In Greek mythology, the Titans (Greek: 韦峥懴勎?T墨t膩虂n; plural: 韦峥懴勧径谓蔚蟼 T墨t芒nes) were a race of powerful gods that ruled during the legendary Golden Age.

There were twelve Titans from their first literary appearance, in Hesiod, Theogony; pseudo-Apollodorus, in Bibliotheke, adds a thirteenth Titan Dione, a double of Theia (a.k.a. Medusa). The six male Titans are known as the Titanes, and the females as the Titanides ("Titanesses"). The Titans were associated with various primal concepts, some of which are simply extrapolated from their names: ocean and fruitful earth, sun and moon, memory and natural law. The twelve first-generation Titans were ruled by the youngest, Cronus, who overthrew their father, Uranus ('Sky'), at the urgings of their mother, Gaia ('Earth').

The Titans later gave birth to other Titans, notably the children of Hyperion (Helios, Eos, and Selene), the daughters of Coeus (Leto and Asteria), and the sons of Iapetus 鈥?Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas, and Menoetius; all of these descendants in the second generation are also known as "Titans".

The Titans preceded the Twelve Olympians, who, led by Zeus, eventually overthrew them in the Titanomachy ('War of the Titans'). The Titans were then imprisoned in Tartarus, the deepest part of the underworld, with a few exceptions.

Regarding the entire story of Ancient Greek Gods, I agree with dvatwork. Here are some more links that may be helpful:
