Re: [tied] Titans

I disagree:
1) The ones who had 100 arms are the Hekatongkheires, not the Titans. And
these giants were helpers of Zeus, not foes
2) The Titans are nor malign nor giants.
3) But there can be a relation between Pandavas x Kauravas and Olympic Gods
x Titans; like Romans x Etrusques, Aesir x Giants; Tuatha de Danaan x
Fomoire (1st/2nd Function Gods x Man-eating Giants). It's important not
confuse these with Aesir x Vanir, Romans x Sabines, Danaan x Fir Bolg
(1st/2nd Function Gods x 3rd Function Gods - ending with a pact).
