Сега, ако се поврзат имињата на митолошките битија од текстот со нивните етимолошки значења може многу работи да се разјаснат. Така, кога ќе се каже:
Tитаните се синови на Уран и Геа, јас го разбирам како:
Деновите се производ на небото и земјата (тлото), односно производ на сончевата светлина (од небото) и земјината ротација.
Gaia 
Earth as a goddess, from Greek Gaia, spouse of Uranus, mother of the Titans, personification of gaia "earth," as opposed to heaven, "land," as opposed to sea, "a land, country, soil," a collateral form of ge (Dorian ga) "earth," of unknown origin, perhaps pre-Indo-European. The Roman equivalent goddess of the earth was Tellus (see
tellurian), sometimes used in English poetically or rhetorically for "Earth personified" or "the Earth as a planet."
Uranus
first planet discovered that was not known in ancient times, named for the god of Heaven, husband of Gaia, the Earth, from Latin Uranus, from Greek Ouranos literally "heaven, the sky;" in Greek cosmology, the god who personifies the heavens, father of the titans.
titan (n.)
early 15c., from Latin titan, from Greek titan, member of a mythological race of giants who attempted to scale heaven by piling Mount Pelion on Mount Ossa but were overthrown by Zeus and the other gods. They descended from Titan, elder brother (or grandson) of Kronos. The name is perhaps from tito "sun, day," which probably is a loan-word from a language of Asia Minor. Sense of "person or thing of enormous size or ability" first recorded 1828. Applied to planet Saturn's largest satellite in 1831; it was discovered 1655 by Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, who named it Saturni Luna "moon of Saturn." Related: Titaness; titanian.
nymph (n.)
late 14c., "class of semi-divine female beings," from Old French nimphe (13c.), from Latin nympha "nymph, demi-goddess; bride, mistress, young woman," from Greeknymphe "bride, young wife," later "beautiful young woman," then "semi-divine being in the form of a beautiful maiden;" related to Latin nubere "to marry, wed" (see
nuptial). Sub-groups include dryads, hamadryads, naiads, nereids, and oreads.
Cronus
from Greek Kronos, youngest of the first generation of Titans, and their leader; of uncertain origin, but probably not related to Khronos, personification of time.
Zeus
supreme god of the ancient Greeks and master of the others, 1706, from Greek, from PIE *dewos- "god" (cognates: Latin deus "god," Old Persian daiva- "demon, evil god," Old Church Slavonic deivai, Sanskrit deva-), from root *dyeu- "to gleam, to shine;" also the root of words for "sky" and "day" (see
diurnal). The god-sense is originally "shining," but "whether as originally sun-god or as lightener" is not now clear.
Poseidon (n.)
Greek god of the sea and earthquakes, Greek Poseidon (Doric Poteidan), of uncertain origin.
Hades
1590s, from Greek Haides, in Homer the name of the god of the underworld, of unknown origin. Perhaps literally "the invisible" [Watkins]. The name of the god transferred in later Greek writing to his kingdom. Related: Hadal (adj.), 1964; Hadean.
Hestia
goddess of the hearth, from Greek hestia "hearth, house, home, family"
Demeter
goddess of agriculture, mother of Persephone, from Greek Demeter; the second element generally given as mater (see
mother); the first element possibly from da, Doric form of Greek ge "earth" (see
Gaia), but Liddell & Scott find this "improbable." The Latin masc. proper name Demetrius means "son of Demeter."
Hera
sister and wife of Zeus, from Greek Hera, literally "protectress," related to heros "hero," originally "defender, protector."
