The titan known for his role in the battle against Zeus and the Olympians in Greek mythology is Chronos or Cronus. The father of Zeus, Cronus overthrew his father, Uranus, to become the leader of the Titans. However, fearing a prophecy that he would be overthrown by his children, he swallowed them at birth. Eventually, Zeus led a revolt against Cronus, resulting in the rise of the Olympians and demonstrating themes of power, tyranny, and the inevitable cycle of generation and destruction.
