In ancient Greek lore, the Titans were giant deities of incredible strength who ruled during the legendary Golden Age and gave birth to the Olympian gods we all know and love. Saturn's largest moon, known as Titan, is therefore appropriately named. In addition to being Saturn's largest moon – and the second-largest moon in the solar system (after Jupiter's moon Ganymede) – it is larger by volume than even the smallest planet, Mercury.
