(Giants) Greek The offspring of Gaia and the blood of the wounded Uranus. Gaia prompted the giants to attack the Titan gods, and the War of the Giants began. The gods finally won, with the help of the hero Heracles, who used his bow to good effect. Zeus killed Porphyrion with a thunderbolt, Athene killed Enceladus, and Hephaestus hurled red-hot iron. Dionysus tripped up the giants with his vines. Apollo, Hermes, and Poseidon also joined in. The giants were completely defeated. Scholars say that the battle represented the conflict either between barbarism and order, or between humans and the forces of nature.
