Genealogy
Son of Zeus[1][2] and Elara[1][2][3], he was born by Gaia[2][4] and was the father of Europa[5] (mother of Euphemus[5]).
Mythology
Birth
Conceived by Zeus and Elara, this pregnancy was hidden by Hera (Zeus' jealous wife) by hiding the pregnant mother in the depths of the earth, but Tizio grew so much in her womb that he ruptured her uterus and Elara died, and the gestation ended in land (Gea) from which Tizio was finally born[2].
The cave in which Tizio was believed to have reached the surface was located in Euboea and was called Elarion[6].
Death
Hera, to take revenge on Latona, who had given birth to Zeus' children Apollo and Artemis, inspired a violent desire in the giant. Tizio went in search of Latona and found her in the Panopeo woods. She was there to perform a ritual when the giant Tizio burst in, trying to rape her. His cries were heard by Artemis and Apollo, who killed the giant with a multitude of arrows.[7] According to Pindar and Callimachus, it was Artemis alone who killed him;[8] according to Apollonius Rhodes and Quintus Smyrnaeus, however, it was Apollo alone. Zeus considered this killing an act of due justice, even though Tizio was his son. According to another version, it was Zeus himself who killed him.
Torment in Tartarus
Having arrived in Tartarus, Tizio was condemned to a horrible torture: his gigantic body, which covered two acres (or rather nine, according to Propertius and Claudian)[9], was immobilized to the ground by forcing his arms and legs, while two vultures,[ 10] two eagles or a serpent would have devoured his liver for eternity.[11]
Offspring
According to one version of the myth, Titius had Thasus as his son, while Euphemus, one of the Argonauts, was born from his daughter Europa[12].
Some interpretations of the myth
The giant's name (which in Greek is Τιτύος, Tityos) could derive from the word "tisis" or be linked to the "Tityroi", a Boeotian word to indicate satyrs who play the flute. This would explain why he looks so much like another of Apollo's rivals, Marsyas. In fact, some elements of the story, in particular the torture to which Titius is condemned in Tartarus, closely resemble the story of the Boeotian giant Orion or that of the titan Prometheus.
