Kronos was now The Lord of the Universe!

At first, Kronos wasn’t so bad. He released the Elder Cyclopes and the Hundred-Handed ones from Tartarus. They had spent all their time in the abyss learning how to forge metal and build with stone, so in gratitude for their freedom they constructed a massive palace for Kronos.
Kronos was also now the Titan of Time.He was especially interested in the destructive powers of time.His 4 brothers who helped him with the murder of Ouranos were given the four corners of the Earth.

Krios was the Titan of the South.He was the dark, silent type.He would stand down there at the Southern edge of the World,watching the constellation. Koios was the Titan of the North.He was also the first Titan to have the gift of prophecy.In fact Koios literally means question.Hyperion was the Titan of the East, was the flashiest of the four.Since the lights of the day came from the East,he called himself the Lord of the Light. Iapetus was the Titan of the West and he was an excellent fighter who knew how to use a spear.Iapetus literally means Piercer. As for the last brother,Oceanus,He took charge of the outer waters that circled the world. That's how the big expanses of water bordering the earth came to be called Oceans.

As Ouranos had Gaia for a Wife, the Sons of Gaia started thinking whom are they going to have as their wives? Then they looked at the lady titans and thought “Hmm..” Disgusting,isn’t it? The brothers wanted to marry their own sisters !? Anyways, not all the brothers married all the sisters.
