Mount Othrys
The mountain position held by the Titan gods in Hesiod's war passage.
Overview
Mount Othrys is the Titan position opposite Olympus in Hesiod's battle geography. It turns a generational opposition from an abstract genealogy into spatial tension between two mountains. The passage does not describe the mountain as an evil realm or enumerate every Titan stationed there, so the place can show the collective camp without turning each relative into a combatant.
Key facts
