The titans were the children of Gaia (mother earth) and Uranus (the universe or sky). Here are some of them, Zeus, Hera, Cronus, and Hades. All that I can remember.

I'm pretty sure they were the most powerful immortals before the Gods of Olympus.

The titans were the elder gods who ruled the earth before the Olympians overthrew them. The ruler of the Titans was Cronus who was de-throned by his son Zeus. Most of the Titans fought with Cronus against Zeus and were punished by being banished to Tartarus. During their rule the Titans were associated with the various planets.
Simply put,
the Titans are a race of godlike giants who were considered to be the personifications of the forces of nature. They are the twelve children (six sons and six daughters) of Gaia and Uranus. Each son married, or had children of, one of his sisters. They are: Cronus and Rhea, Iapetus and Themis, Oceanus and Tethys, Hyperion and Theia, Crius and Mnemosyne, and Coeus and Phoebe.
