The Sum of Awe
Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
Prometheus Greek A god
Wrong on one part; he technically isn't a god but is rather a Titan. Putting that aside, simply saying "a god" is an obvious expression of laziness of an extremely important character.

I do not recall any Babylonian mother deity under the name of "Chaos"
Cutzi? Aquit? From the Americas? I looked that up and found completely nothing except for this site and others copying it
Okay, this list is too long, I'm sure you all get the point by now: No list is ever perfect.

Titans are Gods. Just a different "race" of gods from the Olympians. Titans came before.

Something doesn't require objectivity to be on the accuracy scale, and considering I just found those mistakes, I'm sure there's a lot more mistakes.
My point simply is that this isn't entirely reliable.

More fittingly, they were gods.
No, They're still Gods. There's even Hellenismos groups who worship Them. Prometheus is viewed in a very positive light.

You're losing here, mate, I disagree with you as well. But now that you mention it, do you see any more mistakes or sloppiness like you predicted?

Hmm. I always thought they were replaced after that war and Zeus saved the Olympians.

I haven't cared to look.
And losing what? I'm merely saying that this list is not something to put much reliance on, there is proof of sloppiness and laziness in at least a few.

Human rulers that have their rule usurped are still human.

Yet are no longer rulers.
Unless your understanding of "god" is as a race rather than a title of authority.
You make a habit in relying on objectively existing, contradictory god concepts?

Not even close.
I wouldn't consider it a habit, but if I notice something's unreliable, and it appears to be used, I will announce it.

Well, yeah. Greek mythology isn't exactly known for apotheosis (with the exception of Heracles).
Zeus overthrew the Titans. He didn't "save" anyone. He wasn't much different from his murderous father, Cronus. But you miss the point if you think mythology is supposed to be taken literally. There's people who worship Titans.

That is all true, and I don't at all take mythology literally, I have no idea where you got that from.
But how did he not save the Olympians after they were devoured by Cronus?
He mostly overthrew his father in order to usurp his authority. He did similar things after he became the ruler, such as eating Metis when he learned of a prophecy of a child from their coupling producing a son that would overthrow him.
I've never had much of an attachment to Zeus.
