By right of succession the sceptre of Uranus belonged to Titan, the eldest of the sons of the murdered monarch.
—— "Titan, heaven's first born,
With his enormous brood, and birthright seized
By younger Saturn; he from mightier Jove
His own and Rhea's son like measure found
* * * * * *
—— Or who with Saturn old
Fled over Adria to the Hesperian fields,
And o'er the Celtic roamed the utmost Isles."
Milton.
