Who imprisoned the Titans?

• A. Gaia
• B. Zeus
• C. Cronus
• D. Typhaeus

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that Zeus becomes the enforcer of the new order after the Olympian gods win the war against the Titans. He casts the defeated Titans into Tartarus, a deep, shadowy abyss used as a prison for the most dangerous beings. Zeus doesn’t go alone—he secures the prison with help from the Cyclopes, who forge his thunderbolts, and the Hecatoncheires, the hundred‑handed guardians who keep watch over the imprisoned Titans. This act seals the victory and prevents the old generation from rising again, establishing Zeus as the ruler of the gods. Gaia is the earth mother figure, not the jailer; Cronus is part of the old order rather than the enforcer; Typhon is a later foe who challenges Zeus rather than the one who imprisons the Titans.
