Coeus

=Titan= Coeus was one of the titans from Greek mythology.

Abode
Coeus was the titan of the pole that the constellations revolved around. He was also the titan of the north pillar holding up the heavens. It was also likely that Coeus presided over heavenly oracles. This is further enforced since his wife, daughters, and grandon Apollo are all deities related to prophecy and oracles.

Coeus was the titan of the inquisitive mind. When paired with his wife Phoebe, the titaness of oracles and prophecy, they were seen as the representation of all knowledge whether divine or not.

Overthrow of Uranus
Angered that Uranus had imprisoned the Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires in Tartarus, Gaea asked her six titan sons to overthrow their father. Cronus agreed to overthrow his father and persuaded Coeus to help him do so. Coeus hid in the north corner of the earth and held his father down while Cronus castrated him.

Titanomachy
Coeus fought in the war against the gods. Since he sided with Cronus, Coeus was imprisoned in Tartarus after the titans were defeated.

Gigantomachy
Although usually thought to have been imprisoned in Tartarus after the Titanomachy, Coeus' name appears on a list of those who fought against the gods during the Gigantomachy. This suggests that Coeus battled against the Olympians in two wars.
