Titanomachia by Rove Monteux

Titanomachia (Τιτανομαχία, “Titan Battle”) is the seventh album from Rove Monteux, accompanying his ten singles, in his solo career into Classical, Cinematic, Drama, Neoclassical and Neobaroque music.

Themed around the ten-year series of battles fought in Ancient Thessaly, consisting of most of the Titans (the older generation of gods, based on Mount Othrys) fighting against the Olympians (the younger generations, who would come to reign on Mount Olympus) and their allies, the album goes through the following themes:

* Kronos ((Κρόνος), the leader and youngest of the first generation of Titans, the divine descendants of the primordial Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Father Sky))
* Hyperion ((Ὑπερίων), one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Father Sky), who along with his son Helios, is a personification of the sun, with the two sometimes identified)
* Okeanos ((Ὠκεανός), one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Father Sky), the husband of his sister the Titan Tethys, and the father of the river gods and the Oceanids, as well as being the great river which encircled the entire world)
* Rhea ((Ῥέα), one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Father Sky), a mother goddess in ancient Greek religion and Greek mythology, the older sister of Kronos, who was also her consort, and the mother of the five eldest Olympian gods Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Poseidon and Zeus, and the king of the Underworld, Hades)
* Prometheus ((Προμηθεύς), O Promitheas Kai To Doro Tis Fotias (Ο Προμηθέας Και Το Δώρο Της Φωτιάς), “Prometheus And The Gift of Fire”, Titan god of fire, best known for defying the gods by stealing fire from them and giving it to humanity in the form of technology, knowledge, and more generally, civilization)
* Theia ((Θεία), one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Father Sky), goddess of sight and vision, and by extension the goddess who endowed gold, silver and gems with their brilliance and intrinsic value)
* The end of Polytheism (Istoria Tis Parakmis Kai Ptoseos (Ιστορια Της Παρακμης Και Πτωσεως), “History of Decline and Fall”)
