Abstract	:	The Titans, the original pre-Olympian deities, have attracted little attention from Jungians and the received view of them is overwhelmingly negative. This paper traces the roots of this antipathy to the mythic war between Titans and Olympians. It follows the afterlife of the myth and shows how it is implicated in the elaborated oppositions of body and spirit, mind and matter, which have informed Western philosophy and are embedded in analytical psychology itself. It suggests that the current dis-ease of individuals and nature itself demands a truce between Olympians and Titans and offers a more positive reading of Titanic energy.
