yeh well that was one of the things attributed to him(via creating mortality), and his son. Iapetos the piercer was one of the older titans, and seemingly a valued warrior I've yet to find a more direct line to the reasoning behind "the great iapetos"' ....................................................................... i ain't completely confused yet but i am working on it
Looks like he may have been one of the elder Titans. https://greekmythology.wikia.org/wiki/Iapetos# p.s. sculptor, is your avatar based on Iapetus?
No very human persian wars veteran.

Looks like Kronos (Cronus) was Iapetus' brother. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! The Titans https://www.greeklegendsandmyths.com/ Would this make a great bas-relief?
Looks like in mythology and religion someone always has to die, starting with "patricide" and "fratercide" by the Titans, Cain killing his brother Abel, and ending with Jesus' cruxifiction by the lowly humans. Can we really learn anything from all that endless mayhem?
Nothing specific but one Google had a brief mention he made himself great and a little bit later mentioned he was one of the pillars holding up the sky Later a hint he took on the other three pillars Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Sure ,life is composed of the extremes and the mundane. We learn from all our experiences. When Woody Guthrie died from Huntingdon disease the pain was apparently so severe that the question has been asked whether his pain had morphed to ecstasy. The religious stories are part of humankind's overall experience ..just one part of the mosaic.
But great Kronos the wily took courage and answered his dear mother : ‘Mother, I will undertake to do this deed Also further down great Ouranos so great may just be padding, not a descriptive of abilities https://www.theoi.com/Titan/TitanIapetos.html Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

No they don't. Gods are not physical creatures. People love blood. There are many examples of cannibalism. Cannibalism Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

As far as I know, the cases of cannibalism performed for cause of rituals or worship to a god, are almost none. Most ancient cultures made sacrifices to calm the fury of the gods or as a sign of worship, but they didn't eat the bodies of the victims. Cannibalism in humans is rare, documents from Spaniard chroniclers on XV century and forward relate such custom in certain zones of South America. Human and animal sacrifices offered to gods is found in most of ancient cultures. Cannibalism was also found in times of extreme though climate eras, like right before the end of the first millennium. A convent priest wrote the environment in those days, where people not having food to eat started to kill other people and have them for lunch and dinner. This happened in Europe, and cases were when authorities sentenced to death the cannibals to later they -the authorities themselves- eat their bodies... lol You traveled and found a place to stay the night, and the very next day you were the breakfast for the owner of the hostel.
