As the least individualized among the Titans,<ref>"About the other siblings of Kronos no close inquiry is called for," observes Friedrich Solmsen, in discussing "The Two Near Eastern Sources of Hesiod", ''Hermes'' '''117'''.4 (1989:413–422) p. 419. "They prove useful for Hesiod to head his pedigrees of the gods", adding in a note "On [[Koios]] and Kreios we have to admit abysmal ignorance."</ref> he was overthrown in the [[Titanomachy]]. [[Martin Litchfield West|M. L. West]] has suggested how [[Hesiod]] filled out the complement of Titans from the core group—adding three figures from the archaic tradition of [[Delphi]], [[Coeus]], and [[Phoebe (Titaness)|Phoibe]], whose name [[Apollo]] assumed with the oracle, and [[Themis]].<ref>M.L. West, "Hesiod's Titans," ''The Journal of Hellenic Studies'' '''105''' (1985), pp. 174–175.</ref> Among possible further interpolations among the Titans was Crius, whose interest for Hesiod was as the father of [[Perses (Titan)|Perses]] and grandfather of [[Hecate]], for whom Hesiod was, according to West, an "enthusiastic evangelist".
