Titans should be removed

@Halbared: Titans are gods not Giants, as per Hesiod, Aeschylus, Hansen, Smith, Kerenyi, and Wikipedia's own article on them. The kid version of Britannica is not a reliable source, and wikipedia needs to keep consistency within itself and its own articles, not Britannica's. The proper Britannica on Titans page does not call them Giants, and their page on Cronus calls him a god. None of the individual articles listed offer reliable sources on them being Giants or lists them as Giants, either. Although they were indeed confused sometimes with the Giants due to waging wars against the Olympians, wikipedia keeps those separate, and as long as their individual articles contradict their inclusion here, they cannot be listed.

Thank you for explaining, engaging and elucidating on this topic. Very informative. Here's another source I just found explaining possible confusion. https://www.badancient.com/claims/titans-gigantic/ Halbared (talk) 11:09, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
