After a friend looked up the name Erebos and found that there was an actual Greek god with that name, I did some digging of my own. Turns out the gods in Theros are not based on the Olympian gods at all. They all have analog primordial gods from Greek mythology. Helios is not Zeus, he's actually Heliod, the primordial god of the sun. Thassa is not Poseidon, but Thalassa, primordial god of the sea. Does this mean the next 10 gods will actually represent their downfall? Is Titan War coming?
That would be amazing. I would love to see the titans make a come back

Xenagos has delusions of god hood?
http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Xenagos
The next set is called born to nyx. So I think nyx is gonna make gods out of creatures who want to become gods like the satyr and she's gonna want them to over throw the gods but these that become gods are actually titans
Well actually Elspeth and Ajani team up to stop Xenagos so I don't think he'll be in a war.
There will be ravnica guild 2 color gods. There are already cards in theros giving these away.
But I think the titans will be created than elspeth is gonna have to help stop them and when she does she becomes like the head of the gods even tho she doesn't want power I think she will be granted it.
The titans have already been created in theros
Helios is the name of a titan
His name is Heliod not Helios.

Helios was the son of Hyperion. Helios was also the physical incarnation of the sun. The myth he is most well known for was about his son, Phäeton.

Which ones?

{steam augery} {R}{U} (in the flavor text I believe, I can't actually see it as it won't load for me).
Irons is red/white. I'm certain of this, and would bet money on it
Atheros - {scholar of atheros} {B}/{W}
Phenax - {disciple of phenax} {B}/{U}
Iroas - {priest of iroas} {R}/{W}

Kruphix - {Prophet of Kruphix} {G}/{U}
Keranos - {Steam Augury} {U}/{R}
Pharika - {Pharika's Mender} {B}/{G}
Kamareta - {Kamareta's Acolyte}/{Setessan Battle Priest} {W}/{G}
??? {G}/{R}
