In
Greek mythology,
Titias (Τιτίας) or
Titius (Τίτιος) was one of the
Idaean Dactyls; he and his brother Cyllenus were said to have been venerated in
Phrygia as companions of
Cybele and "guides of fate of cities". The two, as well as the other Idaean Dactyls of
Crete, were sons of the
nymph Anchiale. As to the father, Titias was said to have been either a son of
Zeus or the eldest of the sons of
Mariandynus. Some sources spoke of him as a local
hero of the
Mariandyni tribe in Northern
Anatolia under whose leadership the population increased and was brought to prosperity, and who was eventually deified by the Mariandynians. A city was named Titios after him.
