Battle of the Titans

Before the Olympian gods ruled, the Titans held power. In this illustrated retelling, Gaia helps Cronus overthrow Uranus, only for a prophecy to drive the new ruler to imprison his own children. Zeus alone escapes, and his eventual return sets in motion the great struggle between the Titans and the younger generation of gods.

Stella Tarakson retells the Greek story of the Titanomachy for younger readers, with illustrations by Grace Westwood. Part of Sweet Cherry Publishing’s Greek Classics collection, Battle of the Titans introduces the mythic succession from Uranus to Cronus and Zeus in a clear, accessible form while providing a useful starting point for exploring the gods and cosmology of ancient Greek tradition.
