    All Titans come from some real Myth?

    This is my first post.
    It’s a crucial matter for me, almost an existential question.
    I’ll love find meanings and to find “the” meanings, of course.

    Let’s see. How to pose it…
    Myths. Why do I like to see them as facts? And I guess every myth-lovers likes to see them as facts too.
    Why do I like how they confuse with history?

    My idea is simply: It was people what believes in them.

    Then, my crucial subject: Who believed in Titans? No who believed in Cronos or Rhea or some other of most renowned, I say who do believed in Coeus, in Crius, in Asteria, in Iapetus or in Zelos, to list someone.

    In my search, I’ve get annoying with Hesíodos. No because of him, great ancient writer, because of what a little (for don’t say nothing) folklore material they are about the no famous Titans.

    Then, till what extent people believe in them? Where? How? That is: What kind of worship or consideration they have. I ask till what extent we love particles of Hesíodos’ imagination. That thought get me sad.

    For this is what I have come to make a desperate calling to you give me reasons to may keep on believing in Titans, more over Hesíodos’s.

    Soon, a she-friend from Hellas, will tell me something about. And if you are interested, I’ll tell you.


    Thanks mythmates. I hope we go it on.

    PD. I hope my english be rather understandable. If not, don't worry to tell it me.
