Crius
One of the Titans, part of the early generation born from Gaia and Uranus in Hesiod’s genealogy.
Overview
Crius is one of the Titans born from Gaia and Uranus. He acts less prominently in surviving central narratives than Cronus or Iapetus, but the Theogony still places him in the roster of the first divine generation. Keeping Crius present makes the Titan age a fuller family structure rather than a small set of familiar names, and leaves room for his descendants when needed.
Key facts
Son of Gaia and Uranus
The Titan list in the Theogony includes Crius, placing him in the generation before Uranus is overthrown.
A rostered figure
The poem mainly preserves Crius through genealogy; this account should not turn him into an unsourced central war actor.
