Answer:

If we’re speaking Greek mythology, it should be titans and titanesses. But if we’re talking in general, there were already lot of different gods from different civilizations before (ex. Off of the top of my head; Sumerians, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus River, etc etc.) Even so, there technically existed beings before the Titans, but they’re considered more as monsters than deities. There are also the primordial deities (ex. Gaea, Nyx, Erebus/Chaos etc etc.), but I’m fairly certain the answer you’re looking for are the Titans.
