From Atalante:
Hesiod's Theogony speaks about (among many other things) the "children of the Titans".
These include the so-called 6 Elder Olympians:
Zeus, Poseidon, Hades (men); and Hestia, Demeter, Hera (women).
Counterbalancing the Elder Olympians are the children of Iapetus the Titan -- Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, etc. (who originally lived in Asia Minor, before the Titans were banished by Zeus).

One of the more interesting issues regarding these sons of the Titans is that Hades inherited the land of Asia Minor. (Hades himself is a sublimation of the land of Hatti, which was absorbed into the Hittite capital city Hattusas.) Poseidon inherited the Aegean and Mediteranean Sea; while Zeus inherited the land portions of Crete and mainland Greece.
And another interesting issue regarding these children of the Titans is that Demeter was assumed (by Greek mythology) to have invented agriculture-- but after traveling (presumably sailing) from Asia Minor TO THE ISLAND OF SICILY.
