"I hate you! Caelus was a terrible father, but at least he didn't swallow us!"

— Ops to Saturn[[{{{4}}}|[src]]]

Ops is the Titaness of fertility, earth, motherhood, and generation and the Roman aspect of Rhea and the vakha Atara. The daughter of Caelus and Terra, Rhea married her youngest brother Kronos and became queen of the Titans. However, fearing the prophecy of Caelus, Saturn became a tyrannical king and began swallowing his own children when they were born. As a result, Terra helped Ops save her last child, Jupiter, by having her raise him on Crete and give Saturn a rock to swallow instead. Jupiter grew up to free his siblings and overthrow Saturn, and Ops supported the Olympians in the Titanomachy, managing to convince all her sisters to either do the same or remain neutral.

Ops retained a place of power after the war for supporting the Olympians and was able to make decisions concerning her children when advising Neptune to explore his new domain of the seas and sending Juno to Oceanus and Tethys for her to learn to control her temper. Millennia later, Ops stayed out of the Second Titanomachy during Saturn's comeback attempt and warned Apollo about Triumvirate Holdings when he had become mortal.
