Titans

Zeus overthrew them

The Titans were the elder gods of Greek mythology—children of Uranus and Gaia who ruled during the Golden Age until overthrown by Zeus and the Olympian gods.

The name also belongs to several sports franchises, most notably the NFL's Tennessee Titans.

In astronomy, Titan is Saturn's largest moon. (Lowercase titans are powerful figures generally.)
