===Other early sources=== Brief mentions of the Titanomachy and the imprisonment of the Titans in Tartarus also occur in the [[Homeric Hymns|''Homeric Hymn to Apollo'']] and [[Aeschylus]]' ''[[Prometheus Bound]]''.<ref>Gantz, pp. 45–46.</ref> In the ''Hymn'', Hera, angry at Zeus, calls upon the "Titan gods who dwell beneath the earth about great Tartarus, and from whom are sprung both gods and men".<ref>[[Homeric Hymns|''Homeric Hymn to Apollo (3)'']], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0013.tlg003.perseus-eng1:305-348 334–339].</ref> In ''Prometheus Bound'', [[Prometheus]] (the son of the Titan [[Iapetus]]) refers to the Titanomachy, and his part in it: {{blockquote|When first the heavenly powers were moved to wrath, and mutual dissension was stirred up among them—some bent on casting Cronus from his seat so Zeus, in truth, might reign; others, eager for the contrary end, that Zeus might never win mastery over the gods—it was then that I, although advising them for the best, was unable to persuade the Titans, children of Heaven and Earth; but they, disdaining counsels of craft, in the pride of their strength thought to gain the mastery without a struggle and by force. ... That it was not by brute strength nor through violence, but by guile that those who should gain the upper hand were destined to prevail. And though I argued all this to them, they did not pay any attention to my words. With all that before me, it seemed best that, joining with my mother, I should place myself, a welcome volunteer, on the side of Zeus; and it is by reason of my counsel that the cavernous gloom of Tartarus now hides ancient Cronus and his allies within it.<ref>[[Aeschylus]](?), ''[[Prometheus Bound]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0085.tlg003.perseus-eng1:196-243 201–223].</ref>}}
