This book delves deeply into the evolution of the Greek myth about the Giants, colossal beings born from the union of Earth and Sky who challenged the gods for supremacy. The author traces the development of the myth from its earliest fragmentary references in Homer and Hesiod through its full elaboration in later poets, historians, and artists. The book explores the varying depictions of the Giants, their motivations, and their ultimate defeat by the gods, particularly focusing on the figure of Hercules. The author also examines the significance of the myth within the broader context of Greek mythology and religion, arguing that it reflects the Greeks' fascination with the power of nature and their attempts to understand their place within it.
