[336] τῶν ἒξ ἄνδρες τε θεοί τε: cf. Hes. Op.107“ὡς ὁμόθεν γεγάασι θεοὶ θνητοί τ᾽ ἄνθρωποι”, where, however, the Titans are not mentioned; in Pind. Nem.vi. 1“ἓν ἀνδρῶν ἓν θεῶν γένος, ἐκ μιᾶς δὲ πνέομεν ματρὸς ἀμφότεροι”, the mother is Earth, who bare the Titans. Cf. also Orph. h. xxxvii. 1 f. “Τιτῆνες, Γαίης τε καὶ Οὐρανοῦ ἀγλαὰ τέκνα”,
“ἠμετέρων πρόγονοι πατέρων”. See Mayer die Giganten p. 57.
