Julius Evola, Rene Guenon and others have pointed out that in traditional, pre-modern thinking everything was thought to symbolizie a higher metaphysical reality. In the doctrine of the four ages, as discussed in Evola's book "Revolt Against the Modern World", the Bronze, or third age, is represented as a battle between the "Titans" of ancient Greek legend and the forces of the feminine; a corrupt form of masculinity attempts to seize back the power that the male principle had lost during the Silver, or the third age, when a feminine priesthood ruled during a period of pastoral peace.

This sparked a struggle on many different levels between the feminine and masculine principles. The battle for supremacy between the Pope and the aristocracy was yet another manifestation of this struggle. The Titans seem to correspond to the Giants of Norse mythology, as the Olympians do to the AEsir. The Giants were regarded as chaotic or at least disorderly elements. Also one should consider the "Nephilim" in book of Genesis, which is sometimes translated as "Giants".

Now we read that the a ship named "The Titanic", carrying people who are representative archetypes of the "Titans", may have been destroyed by an action of the Moon, a traditional symbol of the feminine. Coincidence? The world of tradition would answer with a resounding "No!".
