In Greek mythology, the answer is: it depends on which Titan you're referring to. There were both male and female Titans.
The Titanides: The Female Titans
The Titans weren't all male. Hesiod's Theogony specifically names six female Titans, also known as Titanides or Titanesses. These included:
- Rhea: Mother of Zeus and several other Olympian gods.
- Theia: Mother of Helios (the sun), Selene (the moon), and Eos (the dawn).
- Themis: Goddess of divine justice and law.
- Mnemosyne: Goddess of memory, mother of the Muses.
- (Other Titanesses): While Hesiod mentions these four explicitly, other sources list additional female Titans.
Therefore, some Titans were female. The question requires clarification to specify which Titan is being asked about.
Identifying the Titan in Question
To answer definitively whether a specific Titan is female, the name of the Titan must be provided. For example, is Rhea a female? Yes. Is Cronus a female? No.
