The Titans were the parents of the Gods, not as strong or as smart as the Gods.

the Titans (Greek ΤιÏάν, plural ΤιÏάνεÏ) were a race of powerful deities that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. The Titans were twelve from their first literary appearance, in Hesiod, Theogony; pseudo-Apollodorus, in Bibliotheke, adds a thirteenth Titan Dione, a double of Theia. The Titans were associated with various primal concepts, some of which are simply extrapolated from their names: ocean and fruitful earth, sun and moon, memory and natural law. The twelve first-generation Titans were led by the youngest, Cronus, who overthrew their father, Uranus ("Heaven"), at the urgings of their mother, Gaia ("Earth").
The Titans later gave birth to other Titans, notably the sons of Iapetus — Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas, and Menoetius.
The Titans preceded the Twelve Olympians, but were eventually overthrown by them, led by Zeus, in the Titanomachy ("War of the Titans"), and were imprisoned in Tartarus, the depths of the underworld.

The Titans were not Greek gods, nor did they represent them. They were the children and grandchildren of Uranus, aka Heaven, and Gaia, aka Earth, but Uranus and Gaia weren't gods.

The Titans represented the chaos of the natural world: wind, volcanoes (fire), ice, etc.
