Menoetius Greek A second-generation Titan; son of Iapetus and Clymene, who was a daughter of Oceanus; brother of Atlas, Prometheus, and Epimetheus. Menoetius was said to be the god of anger and harshness and was himself said to be brutal and arrogant. During the battle between the Titans and the Olympian Gods, Zeus hurled a lightning bolt at Menoetius. Some sources say he was killed, others that he was just stricken and then sent with most of the other Titans into Tartarus, the deepest pit in the Underworld.
