The above definition is a brief summary of A. Hislop's, "The Two Babylons." I was trying to find more info on this spelling as well (teitan), mentioned by Hislop, but could only find this webpage. Hislop does quote both Homer and Hesiod, but does not specify which works.

"Teitans" an alternative spelling of the "Titans"

I came across the alternative spelling "Teitans" for "Titans", in Greek mythology, over 20 years ago. I have been unable to dig the book it occurs in out of my stored books. It was in a dual-language book of Homeric Hymns, I think but can't be sure, that spoke at one point of the "Teitans" as crowding, or striving, against one another, as the origin of that name. Looking up "Teitans" on the internet brought me here.
