Titans are Ancient Greek Gods.....not sure that’d fit Tennessee’s demo.

Nashville has been called "The Athens of the South" for over 200 years.

So, I'd say any Ancient Greek reference is a 100% fit.

It was called the Athens of the South due to its educational facilities being the best in the south. Therefore it could have easily been referred to as the Oxford, Cambridge or Heidelberg of the south too.
I think the overwhelming majority of people associate Nashville and Tennessee with Country Music, Blue Grass, Volunteers and good quality whiskey long before they make the connection between Tennessee-Nashville-Higher Learning-Athens-Ancient Greece-Titans. Just my opinion though.
