Iapetus (Iapetos)

Iapetus was a different offspring of Gaia and Uranus, which is one of the 12 Greek Titans in Greek mythology. Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas, and Menoitios are some of the titan children they had together after getting married to Themis. Prometheus was renowned for supporting Zeus in the Titanomachy, as well as for having given birth to the first men and fire. Epimetheus, who was renowned for being a bit of a fool, later wed Pandora. In the era of the Olympians, Atlas was renowned as the titan who supported the sky.

Iapetus was the deity of aging, dying, and perhaps even skill. Mortality and craftsmanship are significant since Prometheus, in particular, his offspring, frequently created and crafted things, including the first mortal humans. In addition, Iapetus was the deity of the west, where he supported the sky. Later, Titan, his son, would take over in this capacity.

The fourth and final titan to assist Cronus in overthrowing their father Uranus was Hyperion. His father was restrained by him from the west. Hyperion was detained in Tartarus when Cronus was overthrown by Zeus.
