Character Bio

Iapetos may have been the Titan god who presided over the mortal life-span who assigned mortal creatures their finite lot. Like his brother Titanes, he was a god of time, one of the sons of Ouranos, the great dome of heaven which measured all of time. Iapetos, as one of the more destructive Titanes, is described by Homer seated beside Kronos (all-devouring time) in the depths of the Tartarean pit.

Iapetos and Klymene might also have been gods of craftmanship. Iapetos' name "the piercer," for example, imagines the spear, a tool born of craft. Klymene, on the other hand, shares her name with the craftsman-god Hephaistos, who was titled Klymenos "the famous one" in Homeric poetry.

The powers of mortality and craftsmanship appear in the characters of the sons of Iapetos, Prometheus and Epimetheus, gods who crafted mortal creatures out of clay.
