You are just going by assumption in saying that Titus angered the Gods. There is no textual evidence. You cannot assume ANYTHING about a play that was wrote more than 400 years ago and of which you have first hand knowledge about. There is little mention of Gods within the play except that Titus sacrificed Tamora's son to APPEASE the Gods as was custom of the set time period. I think it would be illogical then to say that his act would have displeased the Gods. It is a revenge tragedy. Tamora was out to gain revenge on Titus because he killed her son. Everything that happened was because of this... I think it would be most factual to leave the Gods out of it. Its more of a commentary on government not religion.

tragedy is engendered by what we know as the inevitable. there is no room for if's and but's .titus like agamemnon angered the gods by killing tamoras son .so what proceeded after was in effect like stone thrown in water to causes inumerable ripples; the repercussions of which not realized until the revenge has taken its full toll.
