The<\/strong> T<\/strong>itans <\/strong>were the ancient gods during the Golden Age <\/em>of Greece. They were later challenged by a race of younger gods, the Olympians, led by Zeus, to whom they lost in a conflict recorded dramatically in Hesiod\u2019s T<\/em><\/a>heogony<\/a>.<\/em> There were originally twelve Titans of whom one was Iapetus the father of Atlas<\/a>, after whom Atlantis was named. The offspring of the original twelve were also designated as Titans.<\/p>\n

Iapetus has been frequently equated with the biblical Japheth (Genesis 9.25-27), the son of Noah, a subject which is investigated at length on the vast and fascinating website(<\/sup>a<\/sup>) <\/sup>of Walter Reinhold Warttig Mattfeld y de la Torre.<\/p>\n

Olaf Rudbeck<\/a> believed that Japheth settled in Sweden<\/a> after the Biblical Deluge<\/a> and fathered Atlas, the first king of Atlantis. In a lecture(b)<\/sup> in 1867, Bishop Patrick Lynch <\/a>of Charleston, S.C. declared “I shall take it as an established fact that America was peopled by the sons of Japheth.”<\/em> whom he identified more specifically as the Phoenicians<\/a>. Lynch also\u00a0identified America as Plato’s Atlantis.<\/p>\n

Ignatius Donnelly<\/a> thought that the kings of Atlantis became the gods of Greek mythology. John D. Baldwin<\/a> was quoted by Donnelly and later L. Taylor Hansen<\/a> as believing[<\/sup>653<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> that the Titans were Atlanteans. <\/b>Over half a century ago Paul Hoffmann identified the Greek Gods as the rulers of ancient Athens, while the Titans were Atlanteans(<\/sup>c<\/sup>)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
