During the ten-year war between the [[Titan (mythology)|Titans]] and the [[Twelve Olympians|Olympians]] (the ones that existed then) and their allies both sides used a mountain as the base for their headquarters. While the Olympians chose [[Olympus|Mount Olympus]] the Titans picked Mount Othrys. The two mountains were in actuality ten miles apart. == The Black Castle == After [[Kronos]] freed the [[Cyclops]] and the [[Hekatonkheires]], Kronos ordered them to build a castle made out of the metal found in Mount Othrys. The castle then became the base of the Titans during the war between the Olympians and the Titans == Fun Facts == The mountain was so tremendous, even [[Zeus]] was afraid when he first saw it. Titans who live there: * [[Kronos]] * [[Oceanus]] * [[Hyperion (Titan)|Hyperion]] * [[Koios]] * [[Kreios|Krios]] * [[Iapetos]] * [[Tethys (mythology)|Tethys]] * [[Theia]] * [[Phoebe (Titan)|Phoebe]] * [[Rhea (mythology)|Rhea]] * [[Themis]] * [[Mnemosyne]] The Titans were evil and cruel, which made Olympian Gods the exact same, since they are parents of Gods. The Olympian Gods are actually Titans and the heroes are demi-titans. == References == <referen
