Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Gigante from a mosaic depicting the death of the giants in their war against the gods. The serpent-footed monster is pierced by an arrow. ca 320 AD.
In Greek mythology the gigantes were (according to the poet Hesiod) the children of Uranus (Ουρανός) and Gaea (spirits of the sky and the earth). They were involved in a conflict with the Olympian gods called the Gigantomachy, which was eventually settled when the hero Heracles decided to help the Olympians. The Greeks believed some of them, like Enceladus, to lay buried from that time under the earth and that their tormented quivers resulted in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Villa Romana del Casale, Piazza Armerina, Sicily, Italy. |
