Iapetus (ee-AP-eh-tuhs)

Greek Titan

Iapetus

Iapetus is the Titan of mortality, craft, and generational fracture—the forefather of gods and mortals alike. Father to Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas, and Menoetius, he stands at the intersection of legacy and rebellion. His domain is not death, but the boundaries that define what it means to live: limitation, consequence, invention, decay. In him, the cosmos first tasted the idea that even gods might end.   Though overshadowed by his sons’ deeds, Iapetus holds a crucial place in myth. Where Cronus governed time and Oceanus ruled the deep, Iapetus shaped the edge of divine perfection—he carved fault lines into the infinite. His children challenged Olympus, redefined mankind, and introduced fire, memory, and failure. Without Iapetus, the story of gods would remain static. With him, it bleeds.
