Rico Dredd: The Titan Years

But, not all the Titans were imprisoned there. Certainly Oceanus, the great world encircling river, seems to have remained free, and in fact, seems not to have fought on the Titans' side at all. [75] In Hesiod, Oceanus sends his daughter Styx, with her children Zelus (Envy), Nike (Victory), Kratos (Power), and Bia (Force), to fight on Zeus' side against the Titans, [76] while in the Iliad, Hera says that, during the Titanomachy, she was cared for by Oceanus and his wife the Titaness Tethys. [77] Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound, has Oceanus free to visit his nephew Prometheus sometime after the war. [78] Like Oceanus, Helios, the Titan son of Hyperion, certainly remained free to drive his sun-chariot daily across the sky, taking an active part in events subsequent to the Titanomachy. [79] The freedom of Oceanus, along with Helios (Sun), and perhaps Hyperion (to the extent that he also represented the Sun), would seem to be the result of cosmological necessity, for how could a world encircling river, or the Sun, be confined in Tartarus?

[35] Once inside the submersible, the hatch would be bolted shut and could only be reopened from the outside. [36] The descent from the surface to Titanic typically took two hours, [37] with the full dive taking about eight hours. [35] Throughout the journey, the submersible was expected to emit a safety ping every 15minutes to be monitored by the above-water crew. [9] The vessel and surface crew were also able to communicate via short text messages. [38] Treisman, Rachel (20 June 2023). " 'Tiny sub, big ocean': Why th

As individuals, few of the Titans have any separate identity. [39] Aside from Cronus, the only other figure Homer mentions by name as being a Titan is Iapetus. [40] Some Titans seem only to serve a genealogical function, providing parents for more important offspring: Coeus and Phoebe as the parents of Leto, the mother, by Zeus, of the Olympians Apollo and Artemis; Hyperion and Theia as the parents of Helios, Selene and Eos; Iapetus as the father of Atlas and Prometheus; and Crius as the father of three sons Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses, who themselves seem only to exist to provide fathers for more important figures such as the Anemoi (Winds), Nike (Victory), and Hecate.

Internet Archive.Bremmer, p. 5, calls Hyginus' genealogy "a strange hodgepodge of Greek and Roman cosmogonies and early genealogies". The etymology of Τiτᾶνες ( Titanes) is uncertain. [122] Hesiod in the Theogony gives a double etymology, deriving it from titaino [to strain] and tisis [vengeance], saying that Uranus gave them the name Titans: "in reproach, for he said that they strained and did presumptuously a fearful deed, and that vengeance for it would come afterwards". [123] But modern scholars doubt Hesiod's etymology. [124] Clement of Alexandria, The Exhortation to the Greeks. The Rich Man's Salvation. To the Newly Baptized. Translated by G. W. Butterworth.

In Prometheus Bound, Prometheus (the son of the Titan Iapetus) refers to the Titanomachy, and his part in it:

According to Hesiod, the Titan offspring of Uranus and Gaia were Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys, and Cronus. [2] Eight of the Titan brothers and sisters married each other: Oceanus and Tethys, Coeus and Phoebe, Hyperion and Theia, and Cronus and Rhea. The other two Titan brothers married outside their immediate family. Iapetus married his niece Clymene, the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, while Crius married his half-sister Eurybia, the daughter of Gaia and Pontus. The two remaining Titan sisters, Themis and Mnemosyne, became wives of their nephew Zeus. Hard, p. 36; Homer, Iliad 14.278–279. Compare with Iliad 14.274: "the gods that are below with Cronus", and repeated at Iliad 15.225. On 24 June, Polar Prince returned to St. John's harbour. In their bid to understand what caused Titan 's catastrophic loss, investigators boarded the support ship. Another boat was seen in the harbour towing the launch platform which Titan used.

An Odysseus 6k ROV from Pelagic Research Services, travelling aboard the Canadian-flagged offshore tug MV Horizon Arctic, reached the sea floor and began its search for the missing submersible.
