Gigantes in Pop Culture

The Gigantes (singular; Gigas), or Greek Giants were a race of great strength and aggression, though not necessarily of great size and were known for the Gigantomachy, their battle with the Olympian gods. According to Hesiod, the Giants were the offspring of Gaia, born from the blood that fell when Uranus was castrated by Cronus. The Giants were often confused with other opponents of the Olympians, particularly the Titans, an earlier generation of large and powerful children of Gaia and Uranus. When the Giants were vanquished they were buried under volcanoes and said to be the cause of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the world.
