Ask Dr Hal
SATURN ETERNAL
OR, THE TITAN (not just the Planet, which its inhabitants call Cyrkanosh)-- a Miltonic creation in verse by the unmatchable Clark Ashton Smith. Yes, exceptional, inimitable, transcendent, unparalleled, and beyond compare, if you don't care for Unmatchable. Saturn or Cronos, an Elder God was of the race of Titans. Though the later Olympians made a distinction, the Titanic clade does overlap with the later established Hellenic (Graeco-Roman) Pantheon. Circe the witch, was, for example, a Titan. So was the much-persecuted Prometheus. So was Helios, the Sun god, father of Circe. But the next Administration was comprised of the Gods we've all read about...

"And now they passed among huge mountain-bulks,
Themselves like ambulant mountains, moving slow
'Mid fettered brethren, adding weight and gloom
To that mute conclave great against the stars.
Emerging thence the Titans marched where still
Their own portentous shadows went before
Like night that fled but shrunk not, dusking all
That desert way."

Last show before Burning Man, in all probability. The standard three hours.
