It's a confusing mess. Here's some attempt to organize but some details may be wrong.
Here's a very loose generational list:
First Era
Primordial Deities
Chaos (The Void)
Gaia (The Earth)
Tartarus (The Abyss)
Nyx (The Night)
Erebus (Darkness)
Uranus (The Sky) - Son and husband of Gaia
Second Era
Titans
Cronus
Rhea
Oceanus
Tethys
Hyperion
Theia
Coeus
Phoebe
Lapetus
Crius
Mnemosyne
Themis
Third Era
The Olympian Gods
The Olympian gods, in Greek mythology, were the major deities who resided on Mount Olympus. There were traditionally twelve Olympians, though the specific members could vary slightly, with Hestia or Dionysus sometimes taking the twelfth spot. 12 Olympian Gods
Zeus (Roman Jupiter) - King of the Gods - God of the Sky and Thunder - Lightning Bolt and Eagle.
Hera (Roman Juno) -
Poseidon (Neptune) - God of the Sea, Earthquakes and Horses - Trident.
Demeter (Roman Ceres) - Goddess of the Harvest - torch, chariot with wings
Apollo (Roman Apollo) -
Artemis (Roman Diana) -
Ares (Roman Mars) -
Athena (Roman Minerva) -
Hephaestus (Roman Vulcan) -
Aphrodite (Roman Venus) -
Hermes (Roman Mercury) -
The twelfth being either:
Hestia (Roman Vesta) -
or
Dionysus (Roman Liber) -
Olympian Era Gods (Don't Live On Mount Olympus)
Hades (Pluto) - God of the Underworld - Helm of Darkness (helmet of invisibility) and Cerberus (Three headed dog.
Notes:
Era vs Generation - Most people seem to use the word "generation" instead of "era" when referring to the successions of power. This is very confusing and took me a while to understand. For instance, Atlas is referred to as a titan but he is actually a cousin of Zeus. Same with Prometheus. Therefore, I used the term era instead of generation.
