Okay gang--
How would you view the Titans? Malicious gods? Primordial- I mean the Olympians to waged war with them-
I'm thinking that while man had it's golden age, the titans were malicious maybe? Perhaps warred amongst themselves?
Okay so how do you view the titans that waged war with the olympians-

I think they are more primordial then malicious. I see the Titans as brutal and nature forces, with a cult less sofisticated then the Olimpians. Not better, not worse, just diferent. It's another period of the greek civilization.
I have to agree with Inês...
Because, they are from a moment and a sort of nature that may be amoral... I mean, when no moral was needed... just the organization of Nature and the Creation.
I think they are hugely misunderstood.
I have to agree with you both on the issue with the Titans. However, studying the cult of the Orphics, to them the Titans represent the evil side of material creation.
I think that this vision depends the line you choose to work and cult. I am much more the Hesiod'd Teogony.
I don't think we can put gods in "good" or "evil". For me it is a christian concept. Gods are gods, they have both in their natures. Gaia gave us food, and can kill us with a earthquaker. Zeus is our beloved father, but He can put you in a rock and send a eagle to eat yout liver...
