Italian term or phrase: Scontro fra titani
i lupi si lanciano in difesa (senza attendere l’ordine: la prima fila attacca, scendendo piano e puntandosi alla roccia con grandi zampe forti e ben ancorate; le altre due file più indietro, proteggono) ed è il primo, vero scontro fra titani, una partita di combattimenti fra molossi dalle capacità straordinarie.

clash between/among titans


Explanation:
I'm not sure using the title of a film (Clash of the Titans) would be appropriate in this context...

neutral  Shera Lyn Parpia: It's a classic phrase that also happens to have been used for the title of a film, not the other way round.
