Theogony

Book 1, Line 62 by Hugh G. Evelyn-White (English)

And there are shining gates and an immoveable threshold of bronze having unending roots and it is grown of itself . And beyond, away from all the gods, live the Titans, beyond gloomy Chaos. But the glorious allies of loud-crashing Zeus have their dwelling upon Ocean's foundations, even Cottus and Gyes; but Briareos, being goodly, the deep-roaring Earth-Shaker made his son-in-law, giving him Cymopolea his daughter to wed.
