Titan

Pre-Olympian deity

Titan is Saturn's largest moon, the only moon in our solar system with a dense atmosphere and liquid lakes on its surface—though the lakes are methane, not water.

In Greek mythology, the Titans were the elder gods who ruled before being overthrown by the Olympians led by Zeus. (Lowercase titan describes a powerful person or thing.)
