[[folder:Prometheus]]
[[quoteright:186:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prometheus_staatliche_museen_zu_berlin_vase_350_bc.png]]
Son of Iapetus, brother to [[TheDitz Epimetheus]], [[BarrierMaiden Atlas]], and [[TheBrute Menoetius]], this deity is a hardcore fan of humanity and proud of it. He was one of the original Titans who was neutral during the war between the Titans and Olympians (or, [[DependingOnTheWriter depending on which source you look at]], sided with Zeus simply because he foresaw he'd win). Instead, his sympathies were with [[PunyEarthlings man]]. In fact, according to some stories, he created mankind (with possibly Epimetheus) and refused to accept that humans were inferior to gods. He tricked Zeus into accepting the uneatable parts of animals as sacrifices for eternity, leaving the meat to the humans. He is also the one who gave Fire to the mortals after he stole it from Olympus. He also saved his son Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha from a [[TheGreatFlood flood]] sent by Zeus to wipe out humanity, warning them of the events to come. Said son helped to renew humanity and became the first ruler of Greece. Zeus wasn't very happy with that, so he sent to Epimetheus Pandora. Despite the warnings of Prometheus, Epimetheus accepted her as a wife, and Pandora unleashed on Earth all the woes we know today. One day Prometheus stole fire from the gods with ([[DependingOnTheWriter maybe]]) Athena's assistance and gave it to man. For his troubles, he was ChainedToARock and tortured for centuries...until he was freed by the [[HalfHumanHybrid demigod]] Herakles.

[[folder:The Nereids]]
The 50 daughters of Nereus and Doris, who accompany Poseidon and often aid sailors.
----
* DependingOnTheWriter: Many writers portray Poseidon's wife Amphitrite as a Nereid, but it's also common for her to be an Oceanid, and still other times, she's presented as ''both''.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Not to the Oceanid or Potamoi's extent, but there's fifty daughters and a son (not always officially considered a Nereid himself), resulting in fifty-one siblings overall.

* LoveGoddess: Originally, until Aphrodite stole her role.

The Titan goddess of the moon, known as '''Luna''' in the Roman pantheon. Specifically, she is the goddess who drives the chariot of the moon across the sky. Sister of Helios and Eos (all offspring of Hyperion) and the most well-known of the three, if only because her name makes for an elegant allusion and looks very French (the "e" at the end is not silent).

* ActionGirl: According to Nonnus' Dionysiaca, she fought against the freaking [[EldritchAbomination Typhon]], which is why the Moon has craters. Badass indeed.

* IcyGrayEyes: One author writes she has silvery grey eyes, the same way Athena is often described.

* SingleTargetSexuality: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] actually. She's known for her love for Endymion, and while he ''was'' her greatest romance, he was not the only man she was interested in.
