The Titanomachia is an ancient Greek epic poem from the Archaic period, traditionally dated between the 7th and 6th centuries BCE. It is an anonymous work with no known author. The poem is considered a key part of the Epic Cycle, a series of early epics that narrated myths from the creation of the gods to the end of the Trojan War.

The poem’s sole known work is the Titanomachia itself, which detailed the great war between the Olympian gods, led by Zeus, and the older Titans. This epic is now lost, surviving only in references by later ancient writers and a few fragments. Its exact date and its relationship to other early poems like Hesiod’s Theogony are matters of scholarly reconstruction.

The Titanomachia was historically important as a major narrative of the cosmic conflict that established Zeus’s rule. According to modern scholars, its existence shows the central role this myth played in early Greek storytelling. As a component of the Epic Cycle, it helped form a continuous mythological history for the Greek world. Its loss means our knowledge is incomplete, but it remains a foundational text for understanding the development of Greek epic poetry and cosmology.
