Giants in Greek mythology. When Cronus castrated Uranus, the blood that flowed from the wound caused Gaia, the earth goddess, became pregnant and created them as enemies to punish Zeus and the Olympian gods for imprisoning the Titans in Tartarus. As soon as they were born, they challenged the gods using burning trees and boulders as weapons, but when the gods realized that they needed human cooperation to defeat them, they enlisted the help of Hercules and, after a fierce battle, finally killed all of their powerful enemies.

ギリシア神話の巨人族。クロノスがウラノスを去勢したとき,傷口から流れ出た血によって妊娠した大地女神ガイアが,ティタンたちをタルタロスに閉じ込めたゼウスとオリュンポスの神々を罰するため,その敵として生み出したとされる。生れるとすぐ火のついた大木や巨岩を武器として神々に挑戦したが,彼らを倒すために人間の協力が必要なことを知った神々は,ヘラクレスの助けをかり,大激戦の末についにこの強敵を皆殺しにしたという。
